Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Earlimart, CA.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 be challenging to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Earlimart 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 clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

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 hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
