Many people in Beaverton who find their way to 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 Beaverton 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
