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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Lawrenceburg with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key 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 diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

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 typically offered in inpatient and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
