There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Loma Linda with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
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 offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
