Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Corning, 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 have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been 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 challenging to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Corning 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 wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people 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 resources.

Individuals 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 and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
