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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and people in Exton with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
