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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Washington 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 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 opportunity 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
