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 than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them open 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 the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Eufaula with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. 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 a special chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct 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 typically provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can provide services for the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
