Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Coppock, IA.

There are an estimated 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. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Coppock with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.

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 spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special 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 need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
