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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People 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 sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical 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 specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Huguenot with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, 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 situations, and many individuals 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 correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address 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 due to either disorder being stimulated.
