Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Monterey Park, 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, 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 people in Monterey Park with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking 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 resources.

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 commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed 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 simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
