Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Woodgate, 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. Individuals 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 difficult 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 mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Woodgate with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential 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 handle both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
