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

There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have 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 might be very harmful for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Marmet with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis 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 chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.

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 normally provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
