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

There are approximately 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 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 sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and individuals in Grandin with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to identify 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
