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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have 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 be difficult to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more harmful for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental 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 specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Rumsey 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 services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
