Many individuals in Riddlesburg, PA. who find their way to 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 Riddlesburg also take part 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 issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment 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 treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
