Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Palos Verdes Peninsula 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 spectrum of treatment 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 seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special 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 require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
