We recognize that mental health and substance use are intricately linked, often forming a vicious cycle. In 2023, 44% of adults with an SUD also had a mental health disorder of some kind. Research indicates that while having a substance use disorder (SUD) can increase the likelihood of developing mental health disorders, conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders can also elevate the risk of developing an SUD.
