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

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. Individuals who do 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Trego with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals 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.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
