People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be difficult to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both might become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences.

With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Pensacola with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
