There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known 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 challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either are left untreated both can become more harmful for the person, 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 the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and clients in Woodbridge with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for 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 appropriate treatment services.
People 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, inpatient, and residential rehab 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 patients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge devise a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
