For people with mental illness, drugs and alcohol can be a key survival strategy. I’ve learned they shouldn’t have to ‘get clean’ to get treatment This is the moment of truth. John’s story is no longer trapped in the clinical pages of a case file. ‘I’ve lost everything,’ he says. ‘I might as well be dead.’
