Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Liberty, 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 have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Liberty 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 broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify 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 require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital, 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. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
