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. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Saratoga Springs 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 individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose people 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 extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally offered in hospital 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 treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
