There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and individuals in Kenai with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
