What Are Co-Occurring Disorders?

Co-occurring disorders are when two or more conditions coexist and are connected with one leading to the onset of the other or making the other worse. Co-occurring disorders often refer to a substance use disorder and mental health condition. Common co-occurring disorders with substance use include depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders.

Often used interchangeably with co-occurring disorders, the term dual diagnosis refers to two separate diagnoses present at the same time. Dual diagnosis can describe any combination of physical, mental, or behavioral health disorders.

Co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorders affect nearly 8.9 million Americans each year.

Therapeutic Options at Vertava Health

Sometimes the mental problem occurs first. This can lead people to use alcohol or drugs that make them feel better temporarily. Sometimes the substance use occurs first. Over time, that can lead to emotional and mental problems. Either way, someone experiencing a substance use addiction along with a co-occurring mental disorder must be treated for both conditions. For the treatment to be effective, the person needs to stop using alcohol or drugs. Treatment may include a combination of behavioral therapy, medicines, and support groups to address and correct mental health issues that lead to or continue the cycle of substance use.

Without treatment and therapy, you may have a higher chance of relapse because the problems of addiction are not properly addressed.
