Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Widnoon, 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 than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, 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 the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Widnoon with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
