There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who struggle 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to asses and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Laguna Hills with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in 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 treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
