Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Provincetown, MA.

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 do have 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 sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very 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 the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Provincetown with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct 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 usually provided in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for 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 develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
