Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
Understanding and treating the connection between mental health and substance use

Call 617-419-0482 or book online to get started.
Mental health conditions and substance use disorders frequently co-occur. According to SAMHSA, approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States experience both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. These conditions interact in complex ways — mental health symptoms can drive substance use, and substance use can worsen mental health conditions.
At RayMex Wellness, we take an integrated approach to treating co-occurring disorders. Rather than addressing each condition in isolation, our comprehensive evaluation identifies all contributing factors and develops a unified treatment plan.
Common co-occurring combinations include depression and alcohol use disorder, anxiety and benzodiazepine misuse, PTSD and substance use, ADHD and stimulant misuse, and bipolar disorder and substance use. Effective treatment requires expertise in both areas.
