There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable 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 methods to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Canton with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of treatment 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 seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
People 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, inpatient, and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
