Substance abuse problems can go hand in hand with mental health issues. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, substance abuse, or dual diagnosis (an addiction to drugs or alcohol AND a mental illness), please see the resources below for help.

Please note: AMI-Quebec helps families cope with mental health problems and illnesses in a loved one. Although substance abuse problems are sometimes addressed in our support groups and counselling for families, we do not offer services to overcome addictions.
