There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be hard to diagnose and treat, and if either 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 very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in La Mirada with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide spectrum of treatment 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 seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment services.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more extensive array of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are normally provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with patients in these settings to address both issues concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
