There are approximately 8 million people in the United States who struggle with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders, also known as a dual diagnosis. People 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 sometimes be hard to diagnose and treat, but if either one of them are left untreated both might become more problematic for the person, leaving them open to mental, physical and social consequences. Consequences in these special instances can be severe, at times leading to suicide, homelessness, legal consequences, and premature death. With proper diagnosis and specialized treatment to handle the co-occurring disorders at the same time, this can be prevented and people in Cranberry Township with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
