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. People who 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical 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 methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in North Highlands with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment 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 looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
