Many people in Novinger who end up in 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 Novinger also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of issue discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
