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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Gypsum with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance 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 hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
