| Summary: | For purposes of this TIP, the term CODs refers to co-occurring substance use disorders (SUDs) and mental disorders. Clients with CODs have one or more disorders relating to the use of alcohol or other substances with misuse potential as well as one or more mental disorders. A diagnosis of CODs occurs when at least one disorder of each type can be established independently of the other and is not simply a cluster of symptoms resulting from the one disorder. Many may think of the typical person with CODs as having a serious mental illness (SMI) combined with a severe SUD, such as schizophrenia combined with alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, counselors working in addiction agencies are more likely to see people with severe addiction combined with mild- to moderate-severity mental disorders. An example would be a person with AUD combined with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or an anxiety disorder. Efforts to provide treatment that will meet the unique needs of people with CODs have gained momentum over the past two decades in both SUD treatment and mental health services settings |
