Many addicted individuals in Polk 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 struggle with mental health issues in Polk also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt 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 center is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
