There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States 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 difficult to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Jackson with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to identify 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 need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders 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 quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
