Mental Health Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Elkton, VA.

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 also suffer with a co-occurring mental health issue. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many treatment programs in Elkton now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to traditional and more progressive treatment for addiction.

In most instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of the person's disorder, particularly when substance abuse is involved. In many cases, the person doesn't even realize they have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is discovered in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be put forth to help the client become mentally stable, and this may involve the use of specific psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, individuals suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, professional staff and medical specialists can assess medication histories and propose actions which can be introduced 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 tend to abuse.
