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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 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 special instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Drennen with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose 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 require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
