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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 be hard to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in East Worcester with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People 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 hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
