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

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. People 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more harmful for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Black 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 wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, 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 opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
