There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States 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 hard to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them open 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 work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Nevada with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
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 typically offered in hospital, inpatient, 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 devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
