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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Lost Hills with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct 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 provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
