There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Hempstead with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity 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 normally offered in hospital and residential programs which can help 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 address 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 because of either disorder being stimulated.
