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 hard to identify and treat, and if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic for the individual, leaving them exposed to mental, physical and social consequences.

With proper diagnosis and specific treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and individuals in Tuskegee with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
