Many people in St. Peter, IL. 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 St. Peter 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
