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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 challenging to asses and treat, but 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 unique instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Troy with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital 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 a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using 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 come up with a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
