Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cleveland, VA.

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Cleveland with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people 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 individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.

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 commonly offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
