Many people in West Valley 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 West Valley, New York also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals 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 brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
