There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer 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 to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be very serious, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Stroudsburg with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
Individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are typically provided 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 taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
