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 do have a mental health disorder, whether 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, but if either one of them are left untreated both can be very damaging for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special cases can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death.
