Many individuals in Shawano, WI. who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Shawano also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
