Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders - Montrose, Illinois

Many treatment programs in Montrose, Illinois address persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. A client who struggles with a mental disorder(s) and substance abuse needs to work through both issues simultaneously. Failing to address the client's psychological disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them susceptible to relapse once they leave treatment. Problems with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other mental disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will come up once back in their day to day life. If the client does not have a handle on how to deal with 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.
