Someone that is struggling with mental health might not have a substance abuse problem.  If you take the substance out of it, you can really see what is going on with a person and then see if they have a problem with substances.  Until you peel away the layers, you do not know what you are dealing with.  You need at least 90 days to see what is really going on.  Addiction can be part of genetics, nurture, and trauma.  It is not a quick fix and takes time to figure out what is going on once you peel back the layers.  In order for recovery to work, you have to want it.
