There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Pueblo with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
