There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have 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 difficult to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Auburn with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people 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 appropriate treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed 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 disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
