There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with 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 be hard to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in High Point 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 clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
