Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Ste. Genevieve, MO.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 be difficult to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and individuals in Ste. Genevieve with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals 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 people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals 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 commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using 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 discharge devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
