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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Quenemo 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 spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, 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 an unique chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

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 provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
