There are an estimated 8 million people in the United States 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, regardless of whether it has been properly diagnosed or not, are more likely to have some type of substance abuse disorder. This can be difficult to asses and treat, and if either are left untreated both can be very harmful for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences.
