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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People 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 be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Wood River 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 wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
