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

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 do 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 sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Dunbridge with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, 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 opportunity to diagnose individuals 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly 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. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
