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

There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Wakefield with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.

People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
