Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Chadbourn, NC.

There are approximately 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Chadbourn 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 wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals 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 normally offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
