A major risk factor of dual diagnosis is that either the mental health issue or the substance use disorder will be overlooked. Many patients with undiagnosed mental health conditions like psychosis or mania don’t receive the necessary care. This can worsen both issues and complicate recovery.
Without professional diagnosis and coordinated treatment from a health professional, symptoms often escalate. Panic, suicidal ideation, and cognitive decline are common. Treatment must be integrated to address both disorders and support recovery with stability and motivation.
Parallel treatment used to be standard but proved ineffective due to disjointed care. Now, a more effective model includes integrative treatment, where one health care team handles both conditions. This helps with stress management and ensures pharmacology, medication, and therapy are coordinated.
Treatment plans may include psychiatry, dialectical behavior therapy, and skill development strategies to support long-term sobriety. These plans address psychiatric symptoms like paranoia, anxiety, and sleep disruption, as well as medical needs such as hepatitis or HIV if applicable. Combining evidence-based methods like music therapy and art therapy improves outcomes.
