There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People 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 challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances 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 concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Winston Salem with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
