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 sometimes be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Santa Clara with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
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 commonly offered in hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
