fuck aihfl hope it helps.
dual diagnosis is a weird one in the UK- so few rehabs except dual diagnosis. i'd never have got accepted by an NHS funded rehab cos of my history of eating disorders (i didn't know i also had c-ptsd cos the heroin was working so well for it), i was too risky to be worth public money. as far as i can tell most addicts are self medicating some underlying mental health issue, so dual diagnosis should be the norm not the exception, and treating the addiction and not the underlying mental health issues seems pointless.
thanks CH and VE for the encouragement, it really helps, now i just gotta do the rest of my life lol. CH i really hope you're getting some real help, and if you're not feel able to ask for it.
