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 do have 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 difficult to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both might be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases 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 simultaneously, this can be prevented and people in Laurel 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 broad spectrum of treatment services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may look for primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique opportunity to diagnose people 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 typically offered in hospital 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 concurrently with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before program completion develop a robust aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
