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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, 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 people in Crumpler 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 wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered 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 taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
