Many people in Foster who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Foster 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 psychological condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
