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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer 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 to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in London 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 broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
