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

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 suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Cook with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring 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 seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People 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 offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
