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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have 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 be difficult to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Peck with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital 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 an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
