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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have 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 hard to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Malcolm with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential 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. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
