Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Vandalia, IL.

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Vandalia 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 clients. 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 opportunity to diagnose individuals 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
