Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Beaver Falls, NY.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle 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 difficult to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Beaver Falls with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis 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 a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
