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 have 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 diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical 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 to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Bunkie with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify individuals 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually provided in hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
