Question by chelsea: What should someone with mental illness and drug/alcohol addiction be treated for first?
Trying to get help for my boyfriends mother. She has a mental illness and is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Her family has been trying to get her into treatment but doesn’t know which to try to get her treatment for first. Are there places that do both? Does any one know of any in Sacramento, Ca or somewhere close to there. Ive read that the cops can take her to get evaluated, but theyve been at her house everynight for the past 5 nights and wont take her, what can we do? what should we do?

Best answer:

There are places who can treat both at the same time, not easy but it’s possible. I know UCLA hospital in Westwood (Los Angeles) have a psychiatric unit for patients with substance abuse problem/history.
