Many individuals in Calmar, Iowa 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 suffer with mental health issues in Calmar 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 as a way to ease 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 brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
