Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Churchville, NY.

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Churchville with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
