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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Bode with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
