Statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicate that half of those who go to rehab need dual diagnosis treatment. Co-occurring disorders are very common among people with drug and alcohol abuse problems. Treating one without the other is likely to result in a relapse.
According to SAMHSA, close to 8 million people in the United States have addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders. That statistic is eye-opening, and a clear indication that people need to be aware of the type of help that is available for them.
