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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Hanna with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. 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 primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
