There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical 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 to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Lexington with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals 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 correct treatment resources.
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 hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
