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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more harmful 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 specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Indianola with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

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

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
