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