West Story

“We became aware of the lack of treatment for people with dual disorders through a family experience. Although major mental illness and substance use most often go hand-in-hand the treatment does not.” “Like we did, other families struggling to find adequate care often bounce back and forth between drug treatment facilities and psychiatric hospitals. It can be a long and complicated process to find the right help.” “That is why we created WestBridge and the West Institute integrated community-based care and training programs helping individuals and families learn to live a life of recovery. These programs also help practitioners, treatment centers and policy makers better understand and manage care for those suffering with dual disorders.” – Al & Loralee West
