Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bella Villa, MO.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Bella Villa 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 treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key 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 primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

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 typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
