Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Chapman, KS.

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. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Chapman with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

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 normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
