Many people in North Collins, New York 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 struggle with mental health issues in North Collins 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 as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
