Many people in Watsonville, CA. who end up in 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 Watsonville 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 as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
