Find Rehabilitation for Your Co-Occurring Conditions
For someone who's addicted to drugs or alcohol, a co-occurring condition has to do with any mental health issues, such as hyperactivity and depression, a person may already have or not know they have. For someone who has used drugs for years, it's likely that a mental health condition has developed in the process. Since a co-occurring condition can affect how well a person responds to drug treatment, it's important to find a program that treats both addiction and any co-occurring conditions you may have.
*Rates for Co-Occurring Addictions
For some people, alcohol and drug use tend to go together, making addiction to one or both substances all the more likely. According to a 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, rates for co-occurring addictions among different age groups are as follows:
- Marijuana is the most commonly used drug with alcohol.
- Binge drinkers are more likely to use other drugs while drinking than non-binge drinkers.
- People aged 12 to 25 have the highest rates of co-occurring drug use.
- An estimated 7.1 million Americans consumed alcohol with at least one other drug in 2006.
