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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more harmful for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Bradleyville 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 broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals 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 normally provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
