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

There are approximately 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed 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 specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in West Monroe with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
