Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - La Puente, 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. People who do 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 diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in La Puente 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 wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, 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 individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in 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. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
