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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Staley with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's 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 extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
