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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Oriskany 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 broad range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, 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 chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
