There are an estimated 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. Individuals who do have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in West Liberty with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are usually offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
