Co-existing mental health and addictions Improvement Survey



The Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) would like to understand the experiences of people living with both mental health illness and substance use, also known as "dual-diagnosis".


We are aware, through our work, that people who have a “dual diagnosis” i.e. have a mental illness and co-existing use of alcohol or drugs, often fall between services. We plan to look into the services available for people in this situation, and to identify gaps, problems and any good practice in Suffolk and North East Essex (SNEE) that can be shared.


To make sure we hear from as many people as possible, including people with a dual-diagnosis and their carers, friends and family, we have created a new confidential survey in which we ask for your experience, good or bad, either personally or as a family member/friend.


Your feedback will help us to improve the services available and quality of care you may require. The survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete, and the closing date for responses is Friday, 28th November 2025. Your responses are anonymous, and you could have a chance to be one of the 2 lucky people to win a £50 gift voucher.
