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

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 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 asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Chambers 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 clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate 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 typically provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
