Mental Health & Addiction
Nobody makes the conscious decision to become a chronic substance abuser, and often it happens as a result of a preexisting mental disorder. Mental health experts have understood for decades that addiction is linked to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Without treating both the addiction and the disorder simultaneously through comprehensive mental health programs, the chances for long-term success are drastically reduced.
The research data on this subject is extensive, and it shows a clear correlation between substance abuse and other mental health issues. However, it is not always clear which disorder causes or precedes the other based upon the statistics. Sometimes, one is left with the classic “chicken and the egg” question regarding substance abuse and mental health disorders.
Fortunately, treatments that address both substance abuse and other mental health issues simultaneously seem to be able to avoid the question of causation entirely – and produce impressive long-term success rates for both issues. Successful treatment for co-occurring disorders will address both challenges simultaneously for long-term sobriety.
Mental Illness & Substance Abuse Statistics
According to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, among the over 20 million adults with a past year substance use disorder, over 39% had an acute mental illness in the past year.
However, among adults without a substance use disorder in the past year, only about 16% had an acute mental illness in the past year. Clearly, there is a correlation between substance abuse and mental illness, and many adults suffer from co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnoses.
