There are an estimated 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 do have 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, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more harmful for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Ashtabula 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 individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided in hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
