When someone is seeking help for a mental illness, it can often be difficult to know where to start. Mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder, and OCD are often misunderstood not only by society generally but also those who suffer with them. It is not always apparent that there is a way out of the intensely difficult feelings that are associated with mental illness, whereas the opposite is true. We have a better understanding of mental health issues than ever before and there are several routes to recovery for all types of mental illnesses.

Choosing the Right Mental Health Program for You

The first and probably most important consideration when deciding on a rehab center is whether to attend an inpatient or outpatient program. CASA Recovery inpatients reside at our beautiful mental health facility in Orange County, CA which provides them with the perfect environment for healing. It is vital that people are removed from enabling people and places to focus on their recovery, which is more possible when attending an inpatient program.

However, some people may find it difficult to leave behind their daily responsibilities or they may have mild or moderate mental health problems which allow them to remain at home. Outpatient mental health treatment can be extremely effective although residential or inpatient rehab is considered a more effective approach. Some people wish to keep their mental health issues to themselves, particularly if they have a position of authority at work or are a caregiver at home.

There is no one size fits all approach to treating mental illnesses because no two people are the same. Some people develop mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety as a result of substance abuse, whereas others use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate a pre-existing mental health condition. Mental health and substance abuse have a strong association with each other, although specialist dual-diagnosis treatment is available for people dealing with co-existing conditions.
