Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Burnt Cabins, PA.

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Burnt Cabins 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 broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance 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 commonly offered in inpatient and residential rehab 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 clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
