There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether 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 can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Stanton with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking 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 appropriate treatment services.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in inpatient and residential rehab 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 issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
