Mental health treatment is often an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because a considerably large number of people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many treatment facilities in Sioux Falls also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most instances, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Oftentimes, the individual doesn't initially even know they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, steps can be completed to help the person become mentally stable, and this can involve the use of certain counseling, therapies, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or possibly misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication records and propose steps which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
