Comorbid substance use disorders refer to the presence of substance use disorders alongside other psychiatric or medical conditions. Individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions are at an increased risk of developing substance use disorders as a way of self-medicating. The interaction between these disorders complicates treatment, as symptoms may overlap or worsen when both conditions are left untreated. Integrated treatment approaches that address both the addiction and the co-occurring mental health disorder simultaneously are crucial for effective recovery. These treatments often include a combination of pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions tailored to the individual's specific needs.
