Co-Occurring Disorder

  My Friends House offers Co-Occurring Counseling which focuses on both addiction and mental health disorders. Co-occurring disorders can sometimes be difficult to diagnose.

Symptoms of substance abuse or addiction can mask symptoms of mental illness, and symptoms of mental illness can be confused with symptoms of addiction. To be effective, both disorders must be treated at the same time, in the same place, by the same treatment team.
