Many people in Watson, Illinois who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Watson also take part 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 ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
