There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Glenview with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, 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 clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance 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 require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab 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 address both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
