There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Compton with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help 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 patients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
