Many addicted individuals in Sharon, Pennsylvania who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Sharon also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
