There are approximately 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be hard to evaluate and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very detrimental for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, sometimes leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Keosauqua 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 wide spectrum of services for these clients. Early intervention can be vital in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special chance to diagnose people 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 broad spectrum of services than the typical treatment client, services that are normally provided in inpatient and residential programs which can assist with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop taking immediately. Doctors and therapists work with clients in these settings to treat both disorders simultaneously with behavioral therapy, counseling, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't quickly relapse because of either disorder being activated.
