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 do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental 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 Olathe with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify 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 typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
