Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Clarkson, 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Clarkson with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
