There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 hard to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and people in Mooresville 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 wide spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
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 inpatient and residential 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. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
