There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic 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 specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Danvers with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
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 key 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 PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs 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 come up with a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
