Many people in Hewitt, New Jersey 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 Hewitt, New Jersey also become involved in substance abuse at some point 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 condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
