Clarity on Substance Use/
Co-occurring Disorders
Treatment for problematic substance use, occurring in the context mental health issues.
Most people that have difficulty with substance use have underlying issues that drive the urge to self-medicate. You may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, severe insomnia, trauma, or other mood fluctuations and have used some type of substance (or used a medication not as prescribed) to manage these symptoms in order to find relief. When there are significant mental health symptoms combined with substance use issues, this is a "co-occurring disorder." When substance use interferes with work, school, interpersonal relationships, and any area of functioning and well-being, replacement coping strategies are needed to manage the underlying symptoms that may be driving that use.
