Many people in Rockville, Virginia 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 suffer with mental health issues in Rockville also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological 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 psychological condition uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
