Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fryburg, PA.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Fryburg with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention 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 an unique opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
