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

There are approximately 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 suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very harmful for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Millheim 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 wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention 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 a special chance to diagnose people 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 typically provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
