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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Mullen with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
