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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very harmful for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Leadville with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
