Many people in Stockertown, Pennsylvania 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 struggle with mental health issues in Stockertown also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. 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 stable in the future.
