There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Elgin with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for 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 handle both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
