There are an estimated 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 suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been 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 difficult to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Carlisle 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 clients. Early diagnosis can be vital 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 correct treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital 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. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
