Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Nuevo, CA.

There are an estimated 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 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 diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed 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 specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Nuevo 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 broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key 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 a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
