Mental health treatment is an important component of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, because many individuals with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health problem. The necessity for dual diagnosis rehabilitation has become more and more evident over the last several years, and many rehab facilities in Oak Harbor now offer dual diagnosis rehabilitation as part of a wider range 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 mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. Often, the person doesn't initially even know they have an anxiety disorder or are suffering with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health physician's office or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, treatment steps can be taken to help the person resolve issues and become more stable, and this may involve the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many cases however, people struggling with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps misusing their medications. In these cases, professional staff and mental health professionals can review medication records and propose steps which can be taken to eliminate the need for medication. Individuals can be safely weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
