Many individuals in Emden, Illinois who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Emden also become involved in substance abuse at some point 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 psychiatric condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment center is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
