DMHA > Co-Occurring Disorders Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorders are defined as a person having one or more disorders relating to the use of alcohol and or other drugs as well as one or more mental disorder. Certain mental disorders are established risk factors for subsequent drug abuse — and vice versa. Co-occurring disorders also implies interactions between the illnesses that affect the course and prognosis of both. The high rate of co-occurrence between drug abuse and addiction and other mental disorders argues for a comprehensive approach to intervention that identifies, evaluates, and treats each disorder concurrently.
