Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Keswick, VA.

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult 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 unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Keswick 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 treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify 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 need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
