September is National Recovery Month. Untreated Mental Health and Substance Abuse disorders lead to more deaths than traffic accidents, HIV/AIDS and breast cancer combined. Other costs of mental illness and substance abuse include: a lower level of education; reduced income; an increased risk for physical health problems including heart disease, diabetes, obesity and lung disease; higher rates of medical complications and emergency room care; incarceration; homelessness and early death.
Most individuals with a mental illness experience a significant reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life with treatment and support. Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and reach their full potential.
