Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Walnut, 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. People who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more 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 the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and individuals in Walnut with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in 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. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
