Many people in Stoneboro who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Stoneboro also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
