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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Perkiomenville with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, 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 seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered 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 quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
