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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States 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 to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in West Unity 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 broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for 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.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment 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 quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
