Mental health treatment is often an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The need for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more apparent over the last several years, and many rehab centers in Springfield now provide dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a broader spectrum of services in addition to conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, 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, treatment steps can be taken to help the person become mentally stable, and this may include the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or possibly misusing their medications. In these circumstances, treatment staff and mental health practitioners can assess medication histories and suggest steps which can be put forth to do away with the need for medication. Patients can be safely weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to misuse.
