Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ararat, NC.

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who 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 sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Ararat with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
