Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Quincy, 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 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 hard to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Quincy with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to identify 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit 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 devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
