There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Chester with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention 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 an unique opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed 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 disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
