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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances 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 concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Brookville with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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

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 inpatient and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
