Co-Occurring Disorders (the presence of both a substance abuse condition and a mental health condition at the same time) affect approximately 8.9 million individuals in the United States (around 3% of the population), and sadly, only around 7.4% of those individuals receive treatment for both conditions, while over 55% receive no treatment at all.
Fortunately, there is good news: the stigma toward co-occurring disorders (and mental health conditions, in general) is lessening and education is increasing.
