Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Breda, IA.

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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 than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed 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 specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Breda with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose 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 need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
