Many people in Pawling 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 Pawling also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease 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 rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
