There are approximately 8 million people in the United States 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be challenging to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the person, leaving them open 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 proper diagnosis and specific treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Huntington with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique 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 typical treatment client, services that are normally offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to quit using immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
