Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Redford, 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 have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Redford with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study 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 intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People 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 commonly offered 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 issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
