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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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 than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Litchfield with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
