There are an estimated 8 million Americans who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. Individuals who have 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 hard to identify and treat, and if either are left untreated both might be very problematic for the person, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique cases can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Cathedral City with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
