Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dravosburg, 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 do have 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic 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 address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Dravosburg with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals 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 identify 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 require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
