Many people in North Dighton, MA. 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 North Dighton also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
