Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Braman, OK.

There are approximately 8 million Americans 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases 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 at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Braman with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People 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 typically provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
