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

There are approximately 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 suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Matthews with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
