Co-occurring mental health disorders (MHDs) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) challenge healthcare professionals. The complexity of these conditions can hinder accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to be aware of the po-tential for co-occurring disorders and to provide appropriate care. Evidence-based interventions in nursing are critical in managing these disorders and improving patient outcomes. Nurses must be trained in these interventions to provide optimal care for patients with co-occurring disorders. Patients should be encouraged to disclose any substance use or mental health issues to ensure they receive the best care possible. This review provides a comprehensive overview of nursing interventions for managing MHDs and AUDs. Nursing care is pivotal in managing these disorders, and interventions can significantly improve patient outcomes. By unifying the style and using clear, concise, and appropriate language for a scientific audience, this review aims to clarify the importance of nursing interventions in managing co-occurring MHDs and AUDs.
