The Overlap of Mental Illness and Addiction
Dual diagnoses, also known as co-occurring disorders, are prevalent among Americans today. Those with substance use disorders (SUDs) are likely to either have or develop a co-occurring mental illness alongside their addiction, complicating the treatment and recovery process if both aren’t accounted for in a rehabilitation program.
As of 2022, SAMSHA reported that “approximately 21.5 million adults in the United States have a co-occurring disorder.”
One study showed that out of a little over a thousand children and adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 receiving mental health treatment, 40.8% also were struggling with substance use disorders.
“A more recent U.S. study looking into the data of adolescents and young adults (aged 12–20) admitted to a psychiatric hospital primarily for mental health conditions found a 48% prevalence of dual diagnoses.”
