Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Coalton, WV.

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have 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 sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, 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 specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Coalton 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 services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
