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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Ilion with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, 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 clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
