For those who are struggling with substance abuse, mental illness is a common concern. In fact, according to data from 2016, 8.2 million adults were struggling with both mental illness and substance abuse in the past year. Of those, less than half received treatment for one or the other. In all, less than 7 percent received help for both conditions.
Despite the prevalence of mental health disorders among those who are struggling with substance abuse, many substance abuse programs do not address mental health concerns. Similarly, the mental health system is not always properly equipped to treat substance abuse. Therefore, if you need treatment for both a mental health disorder and substance abuse, you need to find a program that will assist with both.
Oftentimes, substance abuse and mental health disorders have overlapping risk factors that need to be addressed. These include:
- Childhood trauma
- Epigenetics
- Genetics
- Neurological deficits
- Stress
- Trauma
