Many addicted individuals in Egypt 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 struggle with mental health issues in Egypt also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicted individuals 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 psychological condition uncovered. This alone can 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 psychologically stable in the future.
