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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Lampe with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, 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 people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
