There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who do have 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 sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and people in Massena 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 wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process 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 disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
