There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be challenging to evaluate and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more damaging for the person, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be avoided and people in Phoenix with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
With increased awareness, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more broad spectrum of treatment services for these clients. Early diagnosis can be key in these situations, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before looking for behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique chance to identify individuals with co-occurring disorders through screening and then referral to the appropriate treatment services.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders need a more broad spectrum of services than the non dual-diagnosis client, services that are usually offered in hospital and residential programs which can help with the initial stabilization process to get them detoxed and off of any drugs and medications they need to stop taking 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 come up with a strong relapse prevention and aftercare plan to make sure these clients don't immediately relapse because of either disorder being triggered.
