CO-OCCURRING
More than half of all people ever diagnosed with an alcohol or other drug addiction also experienced a mental disorder at some time in their lives (52%). Of those with a history of drug abuse or dependence, 59% also experienced a mental disorder. Untreated mental health problems can lead to addiction when alcohol or other drugs were used to deal with symptoms just as anxiety and depression may develop because of stress from broken relationships, lost employments, and other situations directly related to a drug-using lifestyle. Treating co-occurring disorders at the same time builds a foundation for lasting recovery.
