Many individuals in Aurelia, Iowa 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 suffer with mental health issues in Aurelia, Iowa also become involved in substance abuse at some point 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 psychiatric condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
