  • Within seconds of inhaling chemicals an individual will experience intoxication that will feel extremely similar to being fall down drunk.

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

Many treatment programs in Geraldine, Alabama address people 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 simultaneously. Failing to deal with the client's psychological disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them susceptible to relapse once they leave treatment. Difficulties with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other mental disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will surface once back in their day to day life. If the individual does not have a grip on how to handle 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.
