Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bellport, NY.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have 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 challenging to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Bellport 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 spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate 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 commonly 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 quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
