Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ezel, KY.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very harmful for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Ezel with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment 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 seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People 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 provided in hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
