There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in North Kingstown with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention 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 PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
