Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Carytown, MO.

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. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Carytown with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique 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 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 drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
