Studies also show that psychotherapy is necessary to supplement and optimize the effects of medication (Steinkuller and Rheineck 338). Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients manage the disorder by replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342).
In helping these clients in the mental health court system we are able to conserve government funding by reducing the process of unnecessary incarceration. Instead, using a therapeutic approach and treating the mental illness has proven successful. If the client is compliant with the treatment plan they are able to graduate from the mental court process and possibly have the charges held against them dismissed. (KingCountryTV, 2011).
The treatment center in San Marcos, for example, has a staff consisting of child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists and neuro-psychologists, family nurse practitioners, physician’s assistant, nurses, and master’s-prepared and licensed clinical therapists, along with volunteers and college students that work there to provide some extra help, support or companionship (SMTC). The mental wellbeing of their patients is the primary concern for San Marcos, along with any treatment facility, but just as any agency there are other factors that are involved that could cause issues such as that of oppression. There is a way of viewing “organizations as multiple oppressions” which indicates that social constructions exclude and discriminate against categories of people (Hutchison Textbook Pg 427-428). As an organization, mental health facilities are prone to multiple oppressions among staff and patients. Just as any type of illness or disease, mental illness does not discriminate.
How according to ()"A competing bill is being drafted by the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY). They would limit medical necessity to only generally accepted standards of care. FAIM argues that the quality of care expected from New York doctors (as enforced by malpractice liability standards) is far more demanding than just "generally accepted standards," and that MSSNY's proposal would let insurers off the hook not only from liability but from coverage as well. MSSNY replies that they just do what the AMA tells them to do”. Well this law again that only accepts payment of medically necessary treatment from patients.
The program or study that I mentioned above about the specialty agencies can be a great place to start. What if those specialty agencies are manned by social workers who specialize in treating and diagnosing mental illness? Instead of letting probation/parole officers monitor these individuals, let the social worker whose trained in the mental health field managed they’re care. In the NASW Code of Ethics 1.15 Interruption of Services it states; Social workers should make reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of services in the event that services are interrupted by factors such as unavailability, relocation, illness disability or death. As the person is being released into society that is where the services are severed, we as social workers can implement programs to pick up the services after their release from prison and/or jails.
The patients must first identify emotions so they can monitor the intensity of each feeling (Waseem, 2012). It is good for the patient to be able to identify their emotions so they can work through whatever triggered the personality states to develop to protect the patient from their previous traumas. If the patient can identify their emotions and can predict what they will feel when dissociation happens, they will be able to better control their life. Lastly, the best way to help a patient with dissociative identity disorder is to help them create a crisis plan for when their everyday functioning is affected. The patient will have more control and anxiety will be lessened because they are prepared to handle their mental disorder (Waseem, 2012).
Research into planning provision of services is a function of research. The research can be used to justify the money spent on public health services. It could be medicine based to do with the NHS and your local GP. Such things like diseases and pregnancies could cost a lot but in the long run it could be worth
Leshner also concludes that research shows addiction has numerous behavioral and social aspects that are commonly related to other brain disorders. Leshner continues to discover effective treatment approaches so we can medicate the addicts without causing a reoccurring addiction. Leshner concludes by suggesting that we should form social policies because they can help diminish the health expenses associated with treating
It is likewise important that mental health workers understand the process of behavior change and are skilled in using motivational interviewing and behavioral strategies to promote treatment. These competencies can result in the establishment of a positive therapeutic relationship, a strong indicator of health outcomes mental illnesses (Whitbeck, Chen, & Hoyt, 2004).
