Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Locust Grove, OK.

There are approximately 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very 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 homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Locust Grove with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
