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. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Stanhope with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals 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 correct treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
