Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Town and Country, 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Town and Country 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 range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to identify people 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 extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
