There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Atlantic Highlands with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct 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 typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
