Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Marcus Hook, 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 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 sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Marcus Hook with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. 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 primary care physicians an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
