Florida Mental Health Treatment
Comprehending the cause of most mental health issues or disorders,
helps doctors and clinicians individualize treatment for each
client, offering a treatment plan addressing mental health,
medication, and therapeutic interventions. Therapeutic methods for mental health disorders can be categorized
as either somatic or psychotherapeutic. Somatic treatments include
drug therapy and electroconvulsive therapy. Psychotherapeutic
treatments include individual, group, or family and marriage
and family psychotherapy, behavior therapy techniques (such
as relaxation training or exposure therapy); and hypnotherapy.
The Cove Center for Recovery is a quality treatment program
for major mental health disorders, which includes both drugs
and psychotherapy as a preferred treatment method. The Cove Center For Recovery – Florida Addiction Treatment Center
and Mental Health Services, designed a Mental Health Program
with a comprehensive team of doctors and clinicians. At the
Cove, psychiatrists are not the only mental health care practitioners
trained to treat mental illness. Others include clinical psychologists,
social workers, and nurses, all of whom must hold appropriate
credentials. Psychiatrists (and psychiatric nurse practitioners
in some states) are the only mental health care practitioners
licensed to prescribe drugs. Other mental health care practitioners
practice psychotherapy primarily. The Cove Center for Recovery
provides also a medical doctor who oversees all practices and
visits with clients. | |  |

Drug Therapy- A number of
psychoactive drugs are highly effective and widely used by psychiatrists
and other medical doctors. These drugs are often categorized
according to the disorder for which they are primarily prescribed.
For example, antidepressants are used to treat depression. The
Cove’s medical director and ARNP will conduct a full psychiatric
history and work with the client to establish to most suitable
protocol for an effective treatment program.
Psychotherapy – The Cove Center for Recovery embraces
the model of psychotherapy combined with medication management.
In recent years, tremendous results have been observed with
the use of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is also referred to
as narrative therapy. It works from the premist that the solution
for a person’s distress can be helped by the therapist through
a trusting relationship and discussions of the problems the
client brings to the session. Often, the psychotherapist can
help the client identify the source of the problems and consider
alternatives for dealing with them. Psychotherapy also recognizes
the need for medication and integrates a program of observation
and reporting on the medication and it’s impact on the individual.
Psychotherapy can include individual, group, marital, and family
therapy. It is an accepted approach for many mental health issues
including trauma, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bereavement, or chronic
mental illness and more. Reach out to us. Recovery from addiction is just a click or a phone call away.
