There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and individuals in Poughkeepsie 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 individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital 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 a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
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 normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
