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 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 difficult to evaluate and treat, but if either are left untreated both can become more detrimental for the individual, leaving them vulnerable to physical, mental and social consequences.

With the correct diagnosis and specialized treatment to work on the co-occurring disorders simultaneously, this can be avoided and individuals in Hohenwald with co-occurring disorders can lead perfectly happy and productive lives.
