Many individuals in Elk Mound, WI. 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 Elk Mound also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease 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 treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
