Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Moscow, 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. Individuals who suffer with 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 difficult to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Moscow 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 range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, 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 opportunity 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 need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking 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 discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
