Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Walters, 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. 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Walters with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research 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 vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
