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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer 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, whether 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 hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Oakboro with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek 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.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
