Many individuals in Old Town 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 Old Town also become involved in substance abuse at some time 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 psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
