There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Bloomington with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research 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 look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people 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 typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
