Don Allen, Michigan’s Director of the Office of Drug Control Policy, reported today that 33% of people served in Michigan’s public substance abuse treatment system have a co-occurring psychiatric disorder.
Hardly an expectation.
It’s worth noting that this number is not too far from the 27% identified in the NSDUH.
