There are an estimated 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 suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Ramsey with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify 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 require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
