Mental Health Treatment Program

Dual Diagnosis Programs

Dual diagnosis treatment is a comparably new innovation in the field of substance rehabilitation. Dual diagnosis is the term used for co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse problems.

Mental Health TreatmentMost people would think that it’s someone else who suffers from mental health problems; it’s seldom that a person would assess himself as having mental disorders.

And yet, it is very important for you to know if your mental functions are not impaired.

If you or somebody close to you shows signs of mental health issues, such as getting into trouble often, depression, manic behavior, difficulties at work or in their social lives, it behooves you to look into a mental health program provided by a professional mental health treatment center.

Understanding Mental Health Treatment

Mental health problems usually manifest in emotional and mental disorders. The treatment used by most mental health treatment centers for such disorders involves the application of psychological techniques designed to assess the extent of the problems and then to promote resolution of conflicts.

Why You Need Mental Health Treatment

A life without worrying about mental health disorders is a goal worth aiming for. However, for many of those who suffer from mental health issues, this world presents too many distractions and obstacles to make progress toward that goal.

Fear and worry are natural, but continuously avoiding treatment for mental health disorders can have very negative consequences for both your ongoing mental health and your physical health as well.

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.” – Juliette Lewis, American actress

Too much stress and anxiety can cause physical problems like ulcers, heart disease, and colitis. Psychological and mental problems can also increase the likelihood that you will commit poor behavioral choices which could result in medical problems. Mental issues can induce you to drink too much alcohol, smoke and eat too much or too little, all of which could cause severe physical problems requiring medical intervention.

The Effectiveness of Mental Health Treatment Programs

The remarkable results of undertaking a mental health program are shown by a study conducted by a policy research group based in New York. It refers to the experience of the mental health courts of Hennepin County and others.

With a grant provided by the MacArthur Foundation, Policy Research Association studied four mental health courts in San Jose, San Francisco, Indianapolis and Hennepin County.

This court used the help of mental health treatment facilities and inpatient mental health treatment centers to rehabilitate the mental health conditions of criminal offenders.

“Never give up on someone with a mental illness. When `I` is replaced by `We`, illness becomes wellness.” – Shannon L. Adler, an inspirational author that has written inspirational quotes on Goodreads

The objective of the court is to reduce repeat offenses and increase the subjects’ compliance with medication and outpatient treatment.

The results showed that there is a general improvement of around 20 to 25 percent in the results for criminal offenders who have undergone mental health treatment programs, as compared to those who have not undertaken the same types of treatment.

These were repeat offenders, whose mental health rehabilitation promised to be very difficult. However, the results have shown that they can get their mental balance back through the help of mental health programs. If they can, so can you or your loved one. Call His House today to take that first step.
