Many people in Afton, WI. 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 Afton also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue discovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
