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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Parryville with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking 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 resources.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
