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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, but if either are left untreated both can 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 homelessness, suicide, 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 individuals in Fallon with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased understanding on the subject, study and innovation in the field of treatment for co-occurring substance abuse disorders has come a more broad range of services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these circumstances, and many individuals with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking 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 resources.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders require a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are commonly offered in hospital and residential rehab programs which can help with the initial detoxification process and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to address both issues simultaneously with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before program completion come up with a robust relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
