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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Murphy with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals 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 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
