Altoona - Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders

Many rehabilitation programs in Altoona, Iowa address persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. A client who struggles with a psychological disorder(s) and substance abuse needs to work through both issues concurrently. Failing to handle the client's mental disorder(s) during their drug rehabilitation will leave them vulnerable to relapse once they leave treatment. Difficulties with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will surface once back in their day to day life. If the individual does not have a handle on how to handle their mental disorder they will most likely fall back into their old ways of abusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping and self-medicating.
