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

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. Individuals 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Williamsburg 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 wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
