What Are Co-Occurring Disorders?

The road to substance use and addiction may take a wide and varied path. Every person who struggles through this disease or disorder has been through unique experiences. Co-occurring disorders occur when a person struggles with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder.

These co-occurring disorders are interwoven and can make it more difficult for those working towards recovery to maintain their sobriety.

Mental health disorders may precipitate substance use and addiction, or they can aggravate existing substance use disorders. For a person who already struggles with a substance use disorder (SUD), mental health disorders can be a huge stumbling block.

On the other hand, substance use disorders may actually cause mental health disorders. A variety of substances—when used or used in a capacity that warrants addiction—can actually lead a person to the development of mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety.

Some of the most common mental health disorders that co-occur with addiction include:

Despite the fact that people that struggle with the aforementioned conditions may seek to find alleviation of symptoms through self-medication, the relief is temporary, as drugs and alcohol use most commonly aggravate these conditions, creating damage that can last for years.

Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorders treatment takes a staff that is committed to and well-versed in comprehensive care. At Woodland Recovery Center, we realize that treating addiction on its own is counterproductive. We also realize that it can be very hard to open up and be honest about situations and disorders that might influence your life to such a drastic extent.

For that reason, we spend ample time sitting down with each person when they come to us and employing an in-depth clinical assessment so that we may fully ascertain their history and paint a picture of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Our comprehensive and multi-faceted approach includes detox, various therapeutic methods, group and individual-based therapy, medication-assisted therapy, aftercare programs, and relapse prevention.

Our treatment goes beyond co-occurring mental health disorders and will also approach a person’s needs if they suffer from more than one addiction, trauma, co-dependency, or behavioral issues that may influence either disorder or treatment.

Our staff at Woodland Recovery Center specializes in many modalities of therapy, including but not limited to dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which is foundational within both our outpatient and inpatient treatment programs.

This approach is a fantastic tool for treating co-occurring disorders because, as research suggests, it is not only proven to work in the realm of substance use but also within treatment protocol for mental health concerns.
