Psychiatric Care With A Certified Team

Curative Behavioral Intake Consultation

When you seek treatment for addiction or your mental health, one key is to get compassionate care from a well-trained and certified staff. Your mental health is at stake. 

It’s important to find a psychiatric program within a treatment facility that has trained and certified psychiatric professionals who will be able to find, diagnose, and heal the challenges you face from mental health issues. 

When battling mental health disorders and/or substance use disorders, there are months-long stretches that are not easy to get through. Even small moments are hard to get through. As the world keeps moving forward, we feel stuck and lost in our own minds. 

Speaking with psychiatric care counselors and providers will hopefully bring a calmness and peace of mind back into your life.

What is Psychiatric Care?

Psychiatry is the medical term for the clinical specialty in mental illness; specifically, the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental illness. 

Psychiatric care is the care put into healing a patient’s mind in treatment by diagnosing the problem and then working to fix it through various services. 

In psychiatric care, patients take part in an evaluation to see if there are any clear signs of a mental health disorder. If there is a disorder, then the care program can include psychotherapy, group therapy, and medication management.

A psychiatric evaluation will help a certified psychiatric provider diagnose a patient and identify relevant psychosocial issues. The provider may then recommend medications be used for treating mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or other issues. 

Forms of Psych Treatment

As mentioned above, psychiatric care includes a mix of psychotherapy, group therapy, and medication management. 

PPIC Group Therapy

Do I Need Psychiatric Services For Substance Use?

Many times, mental health disorders are hidden under a substance use disorder. A person may turn to substances to cope with a mental health disorder they are not even aware exists. 

When there is a mental health disorder working underneath the guise of a substance use disorder, it’s referred to as a co-occurring disorder. 

No matter how the co-occurring disorders present themselves, it is of the utmost importance to address them during treatment. Unresolved issues can leave a patient at a high risk of lapse or relapse. 

The most common co-occurring disorders are anxiety, depression, and PTSD. While they are the most common, these certainly are not the only mental health disorders that can lead a person to use substances to cope. Other commonly found conditions that are tied to substance use are OCD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. 

With the help of a psychiatrist, a person will be evaluated to see if any of these conditions, or possibly others, exist in their life. 

The key here is to know psychiatric care will be used as a way to hopefully find the root cause of your substance use disorder.

Beginning Therapy 

When beginning treatment with the use of psychiatric services, a client will start by communicating with the medical staff of a facility to assess their needs for mental health and substance use treatment.

After the possibility of detox, a client will then meet with a psychiatrist to do an analysis of their mental health and behavioral health. From this meeting, a counselor will create a plan for treatment that addresses substance use disorder and the possible underlying issues. 

Depending on needs, detox may be required for a patient. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be a possibility for a client at this point.
