About This Course<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Individuals with co-occurring disorders typically have at least one mental disorder and at least one addictive disorder at the same time, or co-occurring disorders can also refer to a situation where two or more mental disorders or two or more addictive disorders are present. Recent estimates are that 21.5 million adults in the US have a co-occurring mental disorder and substance use disorder (SAMHSA, 2022). Other recent statistics indicate that over 10% of all adults in the United States have some form of co-occurring disorders and that less than 10% of them receive treatment for both conditions (Pew, 2023). This number does not include those with behavioral addictive disorders or those with problems that do not meet diagnostic criteria. If the faith-based community is going to respond to this critical situation effectively, faith-based psychologists and other mental health practitioners must competently and compassionately offer informed, evidence-based care to those suffering from co-occurring disorders. This series provides current descriptions of the most commonly occurring disorders, highlights the primary neurobiological factors involved in co-occurring disorders, and provides current evidence-based treatment options available to care-seekers and those who love them.<\/p>\n
