There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle 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, but if either one of them are left untreated both can become more damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and clients in Flagstaff with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians a special opportunity to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more extensive array of services than the typical treatment client, services that are commonly offered in hospital, inpatient, 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 handle both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a sturdy relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
