Many people in West Newton, Pennsylvania 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 West Newton also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicted individuals 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 in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
