There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been 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 challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Fairfield with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek 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 correct treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in inpatient and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
