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 than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very damaging for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, 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 concurrently, this can be avoided and individuals in Mineola with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to diagnose 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 need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are typically offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
