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

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. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes 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 prevented and clients in Cattaraugus with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
