There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 sometimes be difficult to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them open 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 people in Pomona 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 treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key 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 a special opportunity 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 need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist 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 address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
