Many people in Cedar Ridge who end up in 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 Cedar Ridge also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment center 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 get treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
