There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People who suffer with a mental health disorder, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might be very problematic for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be severe, sometimes leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to address the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in Laurel with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
