There are approximately 8 million people in the United States 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, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Orrville with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
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 offered in inpatient and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
