hand-in-hand. Many people who suffer with substance abuse may have an underlying mental illness that has never been diagnosed. Mental health treatment centers have qualified professionals who can help a person to get a diagnosis and treatment for mental illness and substance abuse. For individuals with this type of problem a facility should be licensed in psychiatric health and behavioral health. Any person who seeks help with substance abuse should also be checked for an underlying psychological disorder. Some of the common illnesses associated with alcohol and drug abuse include bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and depression, among others. Patients with chemical imbalances in the brain often look for stimulants to help them feel better, leading to alcohol and drug dependency. A patient who is receiving treatment for a psychological disorder will have less of a desire to engage in substance abuse because some medications can affect brain chemistry positively.
Bipolar disorder can wreck havoc in a person's life as he or she experiences mood swings that bring about extreme behavior changes. A mental illness treatment center works with individuals and families to teach an understanding about the disorder. A person with bipolar disorder may find that they are labeled based upon bad behavior. Some families can contribute to problems simply because they do not understand that their loved one is suffering with a mental illness; they may think that the individual is just a bad person who is selfish and does not care about others. A person with bipolar disorder may have symptoms that include restlessness, increased energy, sleep disturbances, feelings of grandeur, depression, brain fog, irritability, and may experience suicidal thoughts. A plan for wellness will probably include taking mood-stabilizers, and antidepressants along with ongoing counseling.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness that can cause a person to exhibit violent behavior and engage in substance abuse. People with schizophrenia need ongoing counseling and treatment especially since there is no known cure. Mental health treatment centers can help a person with the illness through taking medication and support. Medications found to be helpful with treating schizophrenia are anti-psychotics. Anti-psychotics are oftentimes used in correlation with antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. People with the illness need ongoing treatment over a lifetime in order to live a quality life and experience recovery. A person with schizophrenia may be perfectly normal one day but the next day start exhibiting symptoms of social withdrawal, anger, deterioration in personal grooming, and loss of interest in activities. Periods of psychotic behavior may include paranoia, extreme distrust and suspiciousness, poor concentration, excessive worrying, depression, solitary lifestyle, shyness, obsessive or compulsiveness, and can become a risk to self. Sometimes hospitalization may be necessary to keep the patient from harming self and others.
Social phobias, obsessive-compulsive behavior, depression, eating disorders, post traumatic stress disorder and personality disorders can be helped through a mental illness treatment center. Most centers have professionals that are assigned to individuals as part of the health plan. A case manager continually monitors a patient's progress and provides services that help a person to begin living a quality life. Support teams help to make sure that the patient has all of the support needed to reduce symptoms of their illness by emphasizing the importance of staying on medication and receiving ongoing counseling not only for the patient but for the patient's family members.
Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches a person how to change the way he or she thinks so that there is a way to learn to cope with life even when situations may stay the same. Mental health treatment centers help a person to understand that oftentimes the problem is with the thoughts and not with external factors such as events or other people. When the patient learns to act upon what has been learned by looking at a problem differently it can affect one's emotions and ability to cope. Maybe a person is in an abusive relationship and does not believe that there is an answer. When an individual can learn to set daily goals to bring about change in his or her own life, it will bring about the realization that things can change for the better. Learning about Jesus and fellowship with other Christians can provide insight toward changing one's thoughts for the better. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." (Luke 4:18)
Interpersonal psychotherapy is often used for people who are suffering with depression. One major therapy goal is to determine interpersonal issues that may be related or the cause of depression. Sessions in a mental illness treatment center focus on specific ways to bring about a change in attitude towards the things that are causing the patient difficulty. A patient should be encouraged to undergo therapy anytime there is a tendency to feel depressed or melancholy. Interpersonal therapy is also used for patients who have social phobias. Other problems that can benefit from this type of therapy are when a patient is experiencing grief, major life changes, and loneliness.
