There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer 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 substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Coshocton with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique opportunity to diagnose 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
