The co-occurrence of substance use disorders (addiction) and mental health disorders constitutes a serious challenge in psychiatric practice, not only because of its frequency, but also because of the difficulties it poses for its diagnosis and treatment. Recently, this issue has taken on special importance and debate in the field of mental health because it has gone from being an eventuality to becoming the most common pattern of demand for care in substance use treatment facilities.
