Living with Co-Occurring Disorder
Recovery from co-occurring disorder, having both a mental illness and a substance use disorder, is best supported with specialized, integrated treatment and recovery support. The 2014 National Survey of Drug Use and Health estimated that one-third of people who have substance use disorder also have a mental illness, although few actually get the kind of treatment and recovery support they need. When seeking treatment, be sure to ask for a provider that is co-occurring competent.
