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

There are an estimated 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, 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 sometimes be difficult to asses 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, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Riley with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for 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 address both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
