There are an estimated 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 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 damaging for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be avoided and clients in Oakhurst 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 treatment services for these individuals. Early intervention can be key in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers PCP's an unique chance to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the correct treatment resources.
Individuals 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 typically offered in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to quit using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being stimulated.
