There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Woodbridge 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 broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify 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 non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help 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 address both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
