Many addicted individuals in Emporium, Pennsylvania 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 Emporium, Pennsylvania also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
