Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mount St. Joseph, OH.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Mount St. Joseph with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
