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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical 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 address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Linneus with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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 spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, 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 chance to diagnose 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
