Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Glen Ellen, CA.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them exposed 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 proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Glen Ellen with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
