There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Bowling Green with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. 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 primary care physicians a special opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
