Many people in Pottsville 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 suffer with mental health issues in Pottsville 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
