Many individuals in Needham who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Needham 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 psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
