Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Big Cabin, OK.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 challenging to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Big Cabin with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals 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 people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
