There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle 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 sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and people in Limon 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 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 PCP's a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
