Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Granite Bay, CA.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Granite Bay 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 range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to identify people 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 extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital and residential rehab 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 behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
