Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Hollywood, CA.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in West Hollywood with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

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 normally offered in inpatient and residential 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 treat 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 ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
