Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cross Plains, IN.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 challenging to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Cross Plains with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist 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 treat both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
