Mental health treatment has become an important aspect of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, due to the fact that many people with an addiction disorder struggle with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become increasingly apparent over the last several years, and many rehabilitation programs in Watertown now provide dual diagnosis treatment as part of a wider range of services over and above conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In many instances, mental health treatment starts with the initial diagnosis of an individual's disorder, particularly when addiction is present. In many cases, the client doesn't even realize 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, steps can be taken to help the client resolve issues and become more stable, and this might involve the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, people suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with substance use or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these circumstances, rehab staff and mental health professionals can determine medication histories and propose steps which can be introduced to remove 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.
