Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bedford, OH.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle 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 challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, 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 avoided and people in Bedford 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 wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, 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 chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
