Considering Mental Health Treatment?

An individual suffering from mental illness and/or substance abuse also faces social stigma and economic barriers when seeking treatment. Consider these facts when deciding on a course of treatment:

Treatment is Effective

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 70 - 90% of people struggling with a mental health condition experience significant improvement in quality of life after receiving treatment. Studies show that treatment for substance abuse, including medication, helps patients refrain from using and avoid relapse. An example is medication for opioid addiction that helps to stabilize an individual so that their medical and psychological problems can be successfully treated.

Treatment is Accessible and Affordable

Provisions under the Affordable Care Act and the Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act (MHPAEA) improve access to treatment and in some cases increase insurance coverage for treatment of mental health and substance use disorders.

Support of Treatment

Two-thirds of Americans believe that treatment and support can help people with mental illnesses lead normal lives. Initiatives like NAMI's Stigma Free have brought awareness to mental health disorders and addiction. The goal is to let those suffering know that there is hope and understanding while changing the way the world sees mental health. Mental illness is not a result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing. Understanding mental illness dispels wrong attitudes toward mental health conditions and promotes treatment and recovery.
