Mental health disorder treatment
Mental health disorders and substance use disorders (SUD) can occur together, so it is important to treat both during rehab and recovery. At Monarch Treatment Center, we offer comprehensive mental health disorder treatment to support your sobriety and mental health.
Our dual diagnosis treatment center will create a customized care plan that meets your needs and goals. Your recovery program will be as unique as you are.
Understanding mental health disorders
Many people understand physical health better than mental health. However, both are equally important, especially during recovery.
Part of our job at Monarch Treatment Center is to educate people about mental health conditions. Education empowers our patients on their path to recovery. It also helps destigmatize the different types of mental health disorders. No one should ever be ashamed of their mental health.
What are mental health disorders?
What is a mental health disorder? According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Mental disorders are conditions that affect your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.”
These disorders are very common. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that nearly 1 in 7 people around the world live with a mental health condition. Because there are more than 200 types on the list of mental health disorders, it is not surprising that so many people deal with them.
Why do mental health disorders and SUD often occur together?
In addition to being common among the general population, mental health disorders tend to occur more often among people with SUD.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), there are several reasons why:
- Certain substances can cause someone to have symptoms of a mental health issue.
- Some people with mental health conditions use substances to self-medicate.
- Both mental health disorders and SUD can have similar causes, including genetic components, early exposure to trauma, and changes in the brain.
How mental health disorders affect daily life
Much like a SUD, mental health disorders have different signs and symptoms that can interfere with your daily life.
Below are common symptoms that show the importance of mental health disorder treatment:
- Changes in appetite, sex drive, and/or daily functioning
- Hallucinations or delusions that interfere with reality
- Excessive worry or fear
- A sense of disconnection from yourself or others
- Sensitivity to light, sounds, or smells
- Loss of interest in usual activities and passions
- Mood swings
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
With the proper treatment, you can find relief from these symptoms and return to your life. Monarch Treatment Center is here to help you take the first step.
Mental health disorders we treat
Monarch Treatment Center supports patients who have a number of common mental health disorders. Our dual diagnosis treatment programs are designed to support patients with the following conditions:
As part of our recovery programs, we can order mental health disorder tests. The results can help our providers diagnose the right classification of mental health disorders. With this knowledge, we can create the best treatment plan for each person.
Dual diagnosis: co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
Dual diagnosis mental health treatment is available to all patients who work with Monarch Treatment Center. This approach allows us to address both SUD and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
What is dual diagnosis treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment facilities like ours take an integrated approach to substance use recovery. This means that we treat both mental health diagnoses and SUDs at the same time.
Our recovery programs and mental health disorder treatment involve a combination of several tools and techniques:
- Inpatient detox to help manage withdrawal symptoms and set you up for success.
- Therapy to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop new coping techniques.
- Medications to address any chemical imbalances in brain chemistry.
- Support groups to stay on the right track and gain support from others like you.
Benefits of integrated treatment approaches
Monarch Treatment Center believes in the power of offering integrated mental health disorder treatment, and this belief is backed by science.
According to SAMHSA, there are several benefits of treating SUD and mental health conditions at the same time:
- Increased likelihood of reducing or stopping substance use
- Improvement in mental health symptoms and functioning
- Higher chance of achieving sobriety and recovery
- Better quality of life, including fewer arrests and better housing stability
