Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Burnside, PA.

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. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Burnside with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in inpatient 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 taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
