There are approximately 8 million Americans 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 than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Jersey City with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention 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 appropriate treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
