Substance use and mental health problems are treatable, and help is available.
Many people struggle with both a substance use issue and a mental health issue. For these people, it is important to receive treatment for both to get better. Treatment works. Recovery starts with understanding that you may have one or both problems.
Think this might be you or someone you care about?
Find out more about yourself by taking a quick online screening. Want to know right now whether you need help with a substance use, a mental health issue, or both? Answer the questions below.
