Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Comprehensive integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. We address both conditions simultaneously for the most effective recovery outcomes.
Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders
Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, occur when someone experiences both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. These conditions often interact and influence each other, requiring integrated treatment for successful recovery.
The Connection
Mental health disorders and substance use disorders frequently occur together:
- About 50% of people with severe mental illness also experience substance use disorder
- 37% of people with alcohol use disorder have a co-occurring mental health condition
- 53% of people with drug use disorder have a co-occurring mental health condition
The Cycle
Co-occurring disorders create a complex cycle:
- Mental health symptoms may lead to substance use as self-medication
- Substance use can worsen mental health symptoms
- Each condition can trigger or intensify the other
- Treating only one condition often leads to relapse
Common Co-Occurring Disorders We Treat
