There are approximately 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 than those who don't to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can sometimes be hard to identify and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might be very harmful for the person, leaving them open to physical, mental and social consequences. Consequences in these unique instances can be very serious, at times leading to homelessness, suicide, legal consequences and premature death. With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment methods to handle the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be prevented and individuals in East Amherst with co-occurring disorders can be productive and live happily.
