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

There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Gandeeville with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for 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 resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, 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 because of either disorder being activated.
