Many individuals in Newmanstown, PA. 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 Newmanstown 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
