Many people in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey 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 suffer with mental health issues in Lake Hiawatha also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, 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 get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
