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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer 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, 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 difficult to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Spirit Lake with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for 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 services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
