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

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 do have 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Sigurd with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.

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

Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
