Drug Treatment Help Request

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehab centers that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
