Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sheldahl, 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. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been 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, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, 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 avoided and clients in Sheldahl with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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 intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
