There are an estimated 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 difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Liberal 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 broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital 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 PCP's an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct 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 normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using 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 develop a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
