Many individuals in Elmsford who find their way to 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 Elmsford also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
