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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Stanton with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals 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 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 commonly provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
