Residential Treatment
When Is A Mental Health Center Needed?
What is a mental health center, and how can you tell when one is needed? There is more than one type of mental health center, and some may provide inpatient care while others give treatment on an outpatient basis. The most effective substance abuse programs will also provide mental health services, along with substance abuse treatment. A mental health center may be called a rehab if both issues are treated and evaluated. How can you tell if this type of treatment is needed though? There are some signs which are common to both substance abuse and mental illness, and these should be evaluated by a professional so an accurate diagnosis can be made.
A mental health center may be needed if signs of mental instability appear. This can include frequent mood swings, changes in friends or activities, confusion or incoherent talking, and other symptoms. Another sign that a mental health center may be needed is changes in sleeping habits. Someone who is bipolar will experience ups and downs, and may sleep a lot at times and then seem to need almost no sleep at others. Depression can cause a person to sleep more than usual, and this is a sign that help is needed. High risk behavior is also a sign that a mental health center should be considered, because this can be a sign of mental illness or a sign of substance abuse.
Seeking treatment at a mental health center is no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed.
