Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Axtell, NE.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and people in Axtell 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 spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis 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 primary care physicians an unique chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
