There are an estimated 8 million Americans who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who do 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 drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be difficult to diagnose 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 unique instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and clients in Tomah with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
With increased understanding on the subject, research and innovation in the field of co-occurring disorders has come a more wide range of services for these individuals. Early diagnosis can be vital in these circumstances, and many people with co-occurring disorders may seek primary care services first before seeking behavioral health services. This offers primary care physicians an unique 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 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 quit taking immediately. Clinicians and treatment specialists work with patients in these settings to treat both issues concurrently with counseling, behavioral therapy, and mental health services, and before discharge develop a robust aftercare plan to ensure these clients don't immediately relapse due to either disorder being triggered.
