Expert Insights

About 50% of people with substance use disorder also have a mental health disorder (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bi-polar etc.). Yet, according to the 2020 National Mental Health Services Survey conducted by SAMHSA, only 6 out of 10 addiction treatment facilities surveyed offered an integrated substance abuse treatment program that addressed mental health issues along with addiction. We need to put more emphasis on treating both the underlying mental and emotional components of drug addiction, as well as any co-occurring mental health disorders. Dual diagnosis treatment options have increased in recent years, but there is still a need for more.
