Many people in Pelican Lake, WI. who end up in 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 Pelican Lake also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
