There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who suffer with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also sometimes referred to as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who suffer with a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely than those who don't to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues. This can be challenging to diagnose and treat, but if either are left untreated both can be very damaging for the individual, leaving them exposed to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be severe, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in Cape May Court House with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
