Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Paoli, 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. 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Paoli 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 broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking 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 come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
