There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Angola with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals 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 diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
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 usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
