Many people in Hamilton who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Hamilton also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, 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 help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
