There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have 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 be challenging to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Evergreen Park with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify 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 typically provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
