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

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 have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been 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 asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Danville with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose 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 need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
