Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elizabeth City, NC.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People 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 sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more 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 proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Elizabeth City with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people 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 typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
