There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with 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 sometimes be challenging to asses and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Acton with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
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 intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
