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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Waverly with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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

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 provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for 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 address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
