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

There are an estimated 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 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 be hard to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Erin with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, 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 identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

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 inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
