It was really cool to see a nursing home dedicated to giving seniors the help they need with substance abuse and mental health. I think it is sad that there are so few places that treat both mental illnesses and substance abuse at the same time, as they are tied together.

I find that in my experience with the system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that there is a marginalization of psychiatric survivors that leaves one with a dual diagosis a form of education however no pschotherapy. I find that there is a dependency on medication and supports that is a lifelong arrangement and that there is a focus soaly on the medication therapy that is upheld and administered. I find that there is a need for talk therapy which is highly developed and continuing so in psychology of psychologists however this aid is not covered by the mental health system. I would approve of a rehabilitaion program that agknowledged both concurrent disorders with the accessibility of talk therapy and cognitive, affective support. Thank you for extending this report.
