Many individuals in Perry, IA. who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Perry 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. 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 issue discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
