There are approximately 8 million Americans 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, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very detrimental for the individual, leaving them exposed 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 specialized treatment methods to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Moorhead with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers PCP's a special opportunity to diagnose individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate 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 commonly provided in hospital, inpatient, and residential rehab programs which can assist with the initial detoxification process and off of any medications and drugs they need to stop using immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with clients in these settings to handle both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion devise a strong aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being activated.
