Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Gotebo, OK.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Gotebo with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

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 typically offered 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 quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
