Many people in Birchrunville, PA. 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 struggle with mental health issues in Birchrunville also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
