First of all, I am so sorry with the situation you are facing. It's heartbreaking to be sure. I went through rehab back in '86 and there was no dual diagnosis where I was at back then.

I was diagnosed years later with major depressive disorder/generalized anxiety. I had struggled for a long time and refused meds when they were suggested years before that.

Today I work in mental health, and I love my job! (I would like to clarify that schizoaffective disorder isn't schizophrenia, but does present some symptoms of schizophrenia, along with other mental illness.)

I have encountered schizoaffective disorder in my work, but not combined with addiction. My heart goes out to you.

Praying for you and your daughter, and sending hugs of support from Kansas! Please don't hesitate to PM me if you ever need to talk!
