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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Green Lane with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for 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.

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 commonly provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
