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

There are approximately 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 suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Kimball with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
