Beatrice, Alabama - Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders

Many rehabilitation programs in Beatrice, Alabama address individuals 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 at the same time. Failing to deal with the client's mental disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them vulnerable to relapse once they leave treatment. Problems with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will come up once back in their day to day life. If the individual does not have a grip on how to deal with their mental disorder they will probably fall back into their old ways of abusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping and self-medicating.
