Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Butler, IN.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Butler with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
