Many people in St. Olaf, IA. 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 suffer with mental health issues in St. Olaf also take part 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 psychiatric issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab center is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
