Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorders

Substance use disorders often occur alongside other mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or bipolar disorder (co-occurring or dual diagnosis). Effective care addresses both the substance use and the underlying mental health concerns.

Both psychiatrists and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners treat co-occurring disorders. At Adventure Psychiatry, a board-certified PMHNP with experience in substance use treatment provides evaluation and medication management for individuals dealing with these combined challenges.
