Mental health treatment has become an essential part of the treatment of substance abuse disorders, due to the fact that a considerably large number of individuals with an addiction disorder also suffer with a co-occurring mental health disorder. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more evident over the last few years, and many treatment centers in Pleasanton also offer 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 involves the initial diagnosis of the person's mental health issue, especially when addiction is present. In many cases, the individual doesn't even realize 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 completed to help the person become mentally stable, and this may include the use of specific counseling, therapies, and possibly medication administration or cessation of medication. In many cases however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are self-medicating with drugs and alcohol or perhaps abusing or misusing their medications. In these cases, rehab staff and mental health practitioners can evaluate medication histories and suggest actions which can be taken to remove the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which are doing more harm than good, or those which they tend to abuse.
