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 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 challenging to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Seaford with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for 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 appropriate treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
