There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Morris with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. 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 primary care physicians an unique chance to diagnose 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 commonly provided in hospital 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 quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
