There are approximately 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Van Nuys with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
Individuals 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 inpatient and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
