There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with 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 challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Rhinebeck with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to diagnose 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 require a more broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential rehab 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. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
