There are approximately 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very harmful 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 specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Port Matilda with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key 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 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 require a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically offered in hospital 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 patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
