Many people in Elk Grove Village, Illinois who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Elk Grove Village also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
