Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - El Centro, CA.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental 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 specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in El Centro with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
