Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kinloch, 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 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 sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Kinloch with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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 clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, 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 a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously 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.
