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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 hard to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Everett 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 spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key 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 normally provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
