Many addicted individuals in Dunlap, IA. 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 suffer with mental health issues in Dunlap also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment center is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
