Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bonner Springs, KS.

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have 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 diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable 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 the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Bonner Springs 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 wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
