Many people in Hellertown who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Hellertown also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients 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 individual in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
