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. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Hillsborough 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 broad range of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders 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 immediately relapse because of either disorder being activated.
