There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who 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 sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and people in Youngstown with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum 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 looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special chance to identify people with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment resources.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in inpatient and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being activated.
