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 suffer with 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in San Marcos with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people 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 extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a sturdy aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
