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. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the individual, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and clients in Henrico 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 treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to identify 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 broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly provided in hospital and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a sturdy aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
