There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People 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, and if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Rio Rancho with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking 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.
People 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 typically provided in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking 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 develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
