Many people in Dedham, IA. who end up in 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 Dedham also become involved in substance abuse at some time 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 psychological condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
