Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Buffalo, IN.

There are approximately 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, 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 sometimes be challenging to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Buffalo 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 broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital 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 opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

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 offered in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
