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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Cantrall 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 broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in hospital, 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 stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
