Co-occurring mental illness and addiction are brain diseases that
affect individuals, families, and communities regardless of
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or upbringing. There is no magic
bullet for these chronic illnesses, but there are effective
treatments through which recovery is achieved. When the Door Opened
tells the authentic stories of twelve men who have experienced
treatment and recovery from co-occurring mental illness and
substance use disorders. Mary Ryan Woods, RNC, and Katherine
Armstrong interviewed current and past participants from
WestBridge, a dual diagnosis treatment program. Based on their
dialogue, each chapter shares the raw memories and candid
reflections of one man regarding his journey. Every individual who
experiences treatment for co-occurring disorders defines recovery
uniquely. By giving voice to these experiences, we can decrease the
misconceptions and stigma faced by individuals in recovery from
mental illness and substance use disorders.
