Co-Occurring Disorders
Get the Right Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
If you or a loved one is grappling with addiction, it’s likely that an underlying condition is also present. This refers to a co-occurring disorder, where an individual is diagnosed with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. These mental health issues can vary from anxiety or depression to bipolar disorder. At CONQUER, our belief is that receiving appropriate mental health services to address any co-occurring disorders is crucial for achieving set goals.
