Behavioral Health Consultation

Determining Need According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2014): 8.9 million adults have co-occurring disorders Only 7.4 percent of individuals receive treatment for both conditions with 55.8 percent receiving no treatment at all Certain people with mental illness (males, low SES, increased medical illness) are at increased risk of abusing drugs and alcohol One-third of people with all mental illnesses and approximately one half of people with severe mental illnesses experience substance abuse

Impact of Lacking Treatment There are many consequences of undiagnosed, untreated or under treated co-occurring disorders including higher likelihood of experiencing (SAMHSA, 2014): homelessness incarceration mental illness suicide early mortality

National Alliance of Mental Illness (2014) People who are actively using with dual diagnosis are: less likely to follow through with the treatment plans less likely to adhere to their medication regimens more likely to miss appointments which leads to more psychiatric hospitalizations and other adverse outcomes increased risk of impulsive and potentially violent acts more likely to both attempt suicide and to die from their suicide attempts

Complications of dual diagnosis How do we treat patients who are still using? How do we treat those who are “not ready” for residential or outpatient treatment? Many of these patients are limited by: insurance practical/financial/psychosocial barriers Severity of mental health sx prevents follow through Previous treatment history has limited available options

Better Patient Care & Management Meet patients where they are! Eliminate barriers to follow through Provide options to reduce risk/harm Stabilize mental health symptoms Enhance motivation Facilitate treatment readiness Maintain the relationship
