Please note: Some people might think prescription opioids are safer than alcohol or illegal drugs, but the truth is they carry serious risks and side effects. Talk with your doctor about your concerns and make informed decisions about pain management together.
Please note: For confidentiality reasons, most programs will not talk directly to a family member about a patient.
Please note: National surveys have found that about 50% of those who experience a mental illness during their lives will also experience a substance use disorder and vice versa (Ross & Peselow, 2012); (Kelly & Daley, 2013). It is recommended that patients with a co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders should receive further specialty medical and therapeutic treatment for both disorders at the same time.
