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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very harmful for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Phillips with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad 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 seeking 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 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 usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
