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 have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to asses and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and clients in Binghamton with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually provided in 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 patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
