Many people in Hawkeye, Iowa 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 Hawkeye also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
