Many addicted individuals in West Salem, WI. who end up in 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 Salem 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 ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
