Mineral Point, Wisconsin - Persons with Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Abuse DisordersMany rehabilitation programs in Mineral Point, Wisconsin address people 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 concurrently. Failing to address the client's psychological disorder(s) during their drug rehabilitation 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 come up once back in their day to day life. If the individual does not have a grip on how to manage 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.
