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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do 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 hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Edward with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity 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 require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
