There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Brattleboro with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
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 spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate 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 usually provided in inpatient 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 taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
