Co-Occurring Disorders

What are Co-Occurring Disorders?

For those who have substance use disorders, in addition to mental health disorders, you could be diagnosed for co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis.

As an example: those who suffer from a substance use disorder would be diagnosed when this use interferes or interrupts school, work, normal daily function, social relationships, or legal issues. The term co-occurring disorder refers to the condition in which an individual has a co-existing mental illness and substance use disorder. When a substance use disorder and a psychiatric disorder co-occur, they may differ in severity, and the severity of each can change over time.

Counseling and other services for those with alcohol and other drug problems

Vitality Unlimited offers a variety of comprehensive outpatient services available across Northern Nevada in Elko, Reno, Carson City and Dayton.

Outpatient treatment is appropriate for those with less severe Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and Mental Health Disorders. It is also necessary for those receiving continuing care after undergoing residential Inpatient treatment. Personalized treatment plans effectively address an individual's SUD and mental health disorders. The program includes drug testing, intervention, evaluation/assessment, education, individual and group counseling, and participation in self-help meetings.

They are locally sourced parents that have found resources within our community such as Autism providers, testing availabilities, and medical doctors who specialize within the field. The best part about these resources is that they are all local. There are also parent training opportunities and transitional job service numbers to help with students transitioning into adult life. Meetings for the group can also be found on their website under the calendar tab.

NNAN was established in 2005 to help families in Elko County affected by autism. The goal of Northern Nevada Autism Network is to increase autism awareness and access to treatment. We believe Elko County's communities and schools are healthier when children with autism have the benefit of early and comprehensive treatment. Although autism has no cure, with treatment the symptoms can be managed and family life can improve. We are a diverse group of parents helping other parents. We are dedicated to easing families' uncertainties as they navigate through the world of autism.

A Note from the President of NNAN, Korri Ward
Thank you to the Ruby Mountain Relay Teams that are running for a cause and raising money for autism. This year our projects include collaborating with UNR to bring a parent advocacy class to Elko, continuing our teenage social skills program, tutor training, help funding treatment/equipment, public awareness about autism and advocacy at the legislature. Below are details about the UNR parent/self-advocate training.

Along with the Nevada Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities Northern Nevada Autism Network is sponsoring University of Nevada's University Center for Excellence in Disabilities Partner's In Policymaking Class in Elko. Twenty-one people are participating. This is a six month class that teaches self-advocates and parents that disability is natural, how to access services for adults and children with disabilities, and how to work with legislators to improve disability services.

One example of a little know but beneficial program is the HIWA program. At PIP Lenn discussed the benefits of Nevada Medicaid's HIWA program and how to access the program. HIWA is a program that allows working adults with developmental disabilities to buy Medicaid to access Medicaid related services that allow them to continue working or to live independently.

The Partners also learned about ABLE plans. These are like college savings accounts, but for people with developmental disabilities. Ohio is the first state to set up accounts. The accounts allow parents or others to set aside tax free monies at low costs but with interest for their child to use for housing, medical or education. Nevada will open their accounts in October. PIP taught partners about the benefits of the accounts and how to set them up.

Partners In Policymaking is valuable, because it informs participants about how to access available services and how to advocate for improved services.

At the last meeting I asked participants to write their thoughts or comments about the class. This is what they said (Comments are not edited.):

"Partners in Policymaking has been an incredible experience that has helped me become the most informed person I could be as a parent of a child with a disability. While it has been highly educational, it has also been liberating as I was able to meet self advocates and voices from the disability community on what is important to them and how they wish to be treated. PIP has been such an incredible gift that gives me the foundation as a parent and an advocate to fight for what's best for my child, and also on behalf of what is best for the entire DISABILITY community."

"Partners in Policymaking has put me in touch with people and resources that I would never have known about otherwise. It has helped me link into a network of like-minded people where we can join forces to better guarantee that we or our family members are part of the larger community. It is a life-changing experience."

"Thanks for the support of PIP- it provides a real shot in the arm for self-advocacy and is a much needed inspiration for helping my adult daughter"

"It was good, to help each other, the information was good. Thank you."

"The Partners in Policymaking Program help me become more well-rounded and try to overcome a lot of obstacles in my life."

"Partners in Policymaking provided my family with the connections and awareness that we have to make changes for the future."

"I could not attend this class if it was in Reno or somewhere else. I'm thankful it was in Elko. I continuously learn more and more about autism. My grandson was 16 years old when I become responsible for his needs - I have a long way to go but I keep attending classes to learn more. Thank for having the class in Elko. "

"I have learned so much to assist my daughter with autism through life. Thank you to everyone who makes these classes possible. Knowledge is Power."

"The class was wonderful. I learned a lot. I liked most was the speaker when she talked about finances in Ohio."

"Knowledge is power. Take the time to educate yourself about the world around you. The better you can help your child. Partners is a blessing."

"It's been very valuable and the info has been breathtaking."

"I enjoyed learning new things to help more people.

"It was great"

This resource is a private group for parents specifically within Elko County. They are able to share resources, tutoring, as well as discussion forums for struggles. This site provides parents with support systems and local experiences. My application is pending group approval so I'm unable to dive deeper into this at this time but think it's a great new modern way in which families can build community and be given support locally that other parents have tried.

Providing respite to families caring for children with special needs while training high school volunteers to work with these very special children.

Families that have children with special needs have their own special need: the need for time. That means time for mom to enjoy a workout. Time for couples to enjoy a date night. Or for families to catch a movie, go bowling, play Scrabble or settle into a nice, quiet storytelling session. Those are the kinds of pleasures and pastimes that go a long way toward giving you peace, power and the ability to connect with yourself and others who are occasionally lost in the process of focusing on a child with special challenges.

In the meantime, while you're enjoying your own moment of reprieve, your child with special needs is likely enjoying his or her own form of respite and discovery as well.

Creating these healthy moments of escape is what RAVE is all about, little "time outs" with tremendously positive outcomes.

This resource gives training and education opportunities for parents on advocacy, health services, and respite care for caregivers. I think the hardest part for many families is the daily work that is put in for many children with severe disabilities. In Elko County, there are a number of respite care providers that help to relieve caregivers so that they may be refreshed to continue to provide the level of care necessary. This program also connects families to welfare services and COVID-19 relief services for struggling families.
