Many people in Josephine, PA. 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 suffer with mental health issues in Josephine also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of issue discovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
