There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have 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 difficult to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Franklin Park with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
People 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 commonly provided in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
