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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both can become more problematic for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Parksley with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's 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 need a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being stimulated.
