There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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 to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Peoria with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, 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 opportunity 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 extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital 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 quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
