There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Fort Collins with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
