Many people in Hewlett, New York 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 Hewlett, New York also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
