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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People 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 be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Montour with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed 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 program completion devise a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
