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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Garrison 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 range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
