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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Riverside with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify people 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 typical treatment 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 quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
