Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kinbrae, MN.

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 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Kinbrae with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
