Abstract

This study presents an interdisciplinary examination of health disorders associated with comorbid addictions. Drawing on data from medical, psychological, and sociological sources, we analyzed the interrelated impacts of multiple concurrent addictions on individuals' physical, psychological, and social health. Our findings indicate that individuals with comorbid addictions face compounded health risks and often experience exacerbated symptoms compared to those with singular addictions. Additionally, the societal perception and treatment of these individuals are often influenced by stigma, leading to decreased access to comprehensive healthcare and support. Proven that there are cause-and-effect relationships between the consumption of prohibited psychoactive substances, the formation of concomitant comorbid addictive conditions, and drug-related crime. It is noted that the comorbid addictive state depends on the classification and legal group of the psychoactive substance or drug. Common, simultaneous use of psychoactive narcotic analgesics, psychoactive psychotropic tranquilizers, cannabis, amphetamine, alcohol, other psychoactive substances, and drugs. Measures are proposed for further study of the problem to improve the quality of medical and pharmaceutical care, pharmaceutical provision, protection of the rights of patients of various contingents to medical and pharmaceutical rights.
