Many addicted individuals in Palm, Pennsylvania 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 Palm 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility 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 receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
