Many people in Cheverly, MD. 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 struggle with mental health issues in Cheverly, MD. also take part 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation 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 disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
