Many addicted individuals in Raleigh who end up in 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 Raleigh 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 as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself 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 clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
