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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental 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 methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Timberville with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity 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 typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
