Mental Health Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Summerset, SD.

Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of addiction disorders, because a significantly large number of people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly evident over the last several years, and many rehab programs in Summerset also provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be taken to help the individual become mentally stable, and this may incorporate the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and perhaps medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or possibly abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health specialists can assess medication histories and suggest actions which can be introduced to eliminate the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to misuse.
