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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer 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 than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Vienna 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 range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking 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 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 inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
