Many people in Manitowish Waters 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 Manitowish Waters also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to 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 receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
