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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Grandview with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, 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 individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

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 hospital and residential programs which can provide services for 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 issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
