Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorder is also know as a "dual diagnosis". It also refers to substance use (abuse or dependence) and mental disorders occurring together in one person. Clients said to have co-occurring disorder have the following:

  1. one/more disorders relating to the us of alcohol and/or drugs of abuse and
  2. one/more mental disorders.


At least one disorder of each type must be established independently  of the other and is not simply a cluster of symptoms resulting from one disorder (or one type of disorder). The most common types of co-occurring disorders include mood, anxiety, psychotic, eating, personality, and behavior disorders.


Treating a co-occurring disorder  include:

  • Dual care by a professional for both disorders so that treatment runs parallel.
  • Treatment strategy that includes the client's love ones. Spouses, children, and other familiar members of the household should has to have inclusion.  (Support is important)
  • Medication needs validation as acceptable forms of helpful treatment. Pharmaceuticals such as anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants are helpful in treating co-occurring disorders.
  • A support system that helps build confidence, self-esteem, and coping mechanisms.


The therapy for co-occurring disorders include group therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy.
