if continued

When it comes to stress treatment, however, many people resorting to smoking, drugs, alcohol, or fast food. Those methods only make the situation worse, and if continued, may lead to serious health problems.

Hi,
Does "if continued" in the above sound right? Is it better to use "if continuing?" Thanks.
