Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Casstown, OH.

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Casstown with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify individuals 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 extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
