Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in NJ

What Are Co-occurring Disorders?

Having co-occurring disorders means a person has both a substance use disorder and one or more mental health disorders. Undiagnosed mental health conditions can cause behaviors that lead to addiction, and vice versa. At our facility, we treat both conditions at the same time for a stronger recovery.

I would like to say that I have been in a lot of detox facilities and this facility is the best The doctors are compassionate to your situation and take their time the techs are also very competent And make sure you have everything you need. I did a rapid detox because I had to go back to work and they were able to formulate a plan. And it actually worked for me. They did not try to force me to stay like most places would because they want the insurance money. They just wanted to make sure that I was okay. And? The plan actually worked for me Of course, it's a business but they're not just about the money where most places are and they are s***Shows Recovery village is not so I highly recommend this place - John Schwab

This was the best experience I could have asked for. The buildings were all very clean and the staff was friendly. I got along so well with my peers which are now part of my family. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone that I see struggling.

The Recovery Village provides a peaceful and focused setting for recovery. The facility is immaculately maintained, and the staff is both competent and caring. The therapy sessions were beneficial, and the program is reliable. It is a good place for folks who are serious about seeking aid.

What a great place and an amazing experience. Unfortunately, not every "rehab" is like this (see my review on Flager Health and Wellness). Given, it doesn't say much about me as I've been in rehab multiple times. Had I started here maybe the outcome would have been better the first time. I was only there to detox but would've happily stayed for 30 or 45 days. It's a drag but I simply had too much happening at work to stay longer. When I left it was good to go home but I was sincerely sad to leave. The staff, in particular Lee Anne, were absolutely great, the food was awesome and the groups sessions were eye opening, encouraging and, in a very profound way, life changing. The people that I met were also wonderful. While no one is excited to go to rehab they create an environment where you'd think the opposite. The stories that were shared were moving and reassuring. There's something motivating to know that you're not in this alone. My roommate was a bit of a weirdo, but they've got no control over that.

I cannot recommend the Recovery Village enough. If you have a substance abuse issue (which many, many people do), pick up the phone and call them. Don't be scared or apprehensive, these people are truly there to help you.

Most of the staff was very helpful
as well as most of the in house support and counseling structure
Special thanks to Sean and Phalon
For helping some issues that arose
Special thanks to BHTs Jaclyn Jason and Spencer for their dedication and their help with some of our needs

This place helped me to see things in me that I didn’t know before, and helped me to deal with my past trauma that I push way deep in me.

This place is really clean and all the counselors, nursing staff, and bhts really care for you. If you know anyone struggling and are thinking to send someone here or come here yourself I suggest that you do

About Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

It’s common for substance use disorders to occur at the same time as other mental health conditions. Each of these conditions can affect the other, exacerbate symptoms and make treatment difficult.

At The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper, we believe that each person should be treated as a whole, which means addressing conditions that occur alongside an addiction. While we may not treat all co-occurring disorders, we do offer treatment for several of the most common co-occurring mental health disorders that addresses both addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously.

Common Co-Occurring Disorders

Mental health disorders that can co-occur with addiction (substance use disorder) can include:

Statistics on co-occurring disorders show that 37.9% of adults with substance use disorders have a mental health condition, and 18.2% of those with mental health conditions had a substance use disorder.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Symptoms

It can be difficult to tell when a co-occurring disorder is present because many effects of substance use disorders can cause symptoms that are similar to mental health disorders. For example, drug withdrawal can cause symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Because there is such a wide variety of drugs and effects, addiction specialists use screening tools to determine when co-occurring disorder treatment may be appropriate. After medical detox and initial addiction treatment begins, it may become easier to spot the signs of underlying mental health conditions.

General signs of co-occurring disorders are similar to those of addiction, including:

Avoiding relationships with family and friends
Sudden changes in behavior
Difficulty managing daily responsibilities
Engaging in risky behaviors

Neglecting health and hygiene
Losing control over substance use
Feeling the need to use a substance to function normally

Self-Medication and Substance Abuse

Many people develop substance use disorders because they begin using drugs or alcohol to cope with the symptoms of a mental health condition. Self-medication may reduce feelings of anxiety or depression in the short-term, but this can cause mental health disorders to develop or worsen. The consequences of self-medication can include delayed treatment and the development of drug tolerance, dependence or addiction.
