Many individuals in Monroe 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 suffer with mental health issues in Monroe also take part in substance abuse at some point 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 psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
