Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders
What is Co-Occurring Disorder?
The Symptoms of Co-Occurring Disorders
How Are Co-Occurring Disorders Diagnosed?
A co-occurring disorder, or dual diagnosis, is when someone experiences both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time, which can make diagnosis and treatment more complex.
Screening for both conditions is crucial to ensure effective care. Men are more commonly affected, with around 56% of co-occurring disorder cases involving male individuals. Research shows that those with substance use disorders are 1.3 times more likely to develop mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Co-occurring disorders can stem from genetic factors, environmental influences, or past trauma.
Our Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a fundamental component of effective treatment for co-occurring disorders. It provides a confidential space for clients to explore personal challenges, develop coping strategies, and address both mental health and substance use issues. This personalized approach fosters self-awareness and resilience, essential for lasting recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and effective approach for treating co-occurring disorders, including addiction, depression, and anxiety. By focusing on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, CBT helps individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall mental health. This therapeutic method is integral to comprehensive treatment plans for those facing multiple mental health challenges.

What is a Co-Occurring Disorder?
A co-occurring disorder, or dual diagnosis, is when a person has both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time. These overlapping conditions can intensify each other’s symptoms. Addressing both through integrated treatment is essential for lasting recovery.
Why would someone with a mental health disorder also abuse addictive substances?
People with mental health conditions may use substances to manage their symptoms, often as a form of self-medication. This can lead to dependency and worsen their mental health. Substance use, encouraged by peers or personal stress, creates a cycle that often reinforces both conditions.
Does health insurance cover Co-Occurring Disorder treatment?
Yes, under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance policies cover treatment for co-occurring disorders.

What if my loved ones don’t want to go into treatment?
When someone resists treatment, it can be difficult for family and friends. Having open conversations, showing support, and researching treatment options together can help. Consulting a professional can also provide guidance. Remember, caring for yourself is important too. Support can be a bridge to recovery.
