There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Winter Park with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special 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 typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
