At the early stage of an emerging infectious disease outbreak, the interplay between individual protective behavior and therapeutic resources profoundly influences the effectiveness of epidemic control. By extending the classic behavior–disease coupling framework, this paper developed a dynamic model that concurrently incorporates heterogeneous behavioral adoption dynamics and saturation effects in treatment resources. Two behavioral regulation parameters were introduced to quantify their synergistic influence on transmission dynamics. Theoretical analysis yielded the basic reproduction number for both homogeneous and mixed systems, thereby establishing the threshold dynamics of the model. Numerical simulations demonstrated that increasing the intensity of behavioral adoption significantly reduces both the infection scale and transmission risk, and can even lower
