Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Durango, CO.

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Durango with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
