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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle 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, 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 difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Corder with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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 individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify individuals 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 usually provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
