Alcoholism and…. ?? (Dual Diagnosis) Explored
Listen in at the Sober Coffee Shop as Mike & Glenn talk about Dual Diagnosis with Alcoholism and Mental Illness. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Alcoholism or mental illness? Does it matter? Listen as they each talk about their journey with dual diagnosis.
Dual diagnosis is any mental condition along with drug or alcohol addiction. Did you know according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, roughly 50% of individuals with a substance use disorder are also dual diagnosed with a mental illness? Alcohol is a great masquerader of mental illness.
At what point do you identify whether you have a dual diagnosis or it’s the alcohol? Not everyone has the same experience. Listen in at the Sober Coffee Shop as Mike and Glenn discuss their experiences with co-occurring disorders and their dual diagnosis, what path they took to sobriety and treatment, and where they are at today.
