In a west coast health plan, Jennifer Mertens and Connie Weisner and colleagues found that patients with alcohol or other drug problems (AOD) receiving substance abuse treatment (as shown in the first column of numbers) were significantly more likely than those without substance abuse disorders, the controls in the column on the far right, to have each of these conditions listed on the left, again including some very common medical and psychiatric conditions such as low back pain, depression, asthma and arthritis.
