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. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Fort Bragg with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people 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 require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in inpatient and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
