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

There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer 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 than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Ona with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, 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 vital 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 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 commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
