People who have a mental health disorder, whether properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of drug or alcohol addiction issues.

With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders concurrently, this can be prevented and people in West Liberty with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
