Many people in North Fort Myers who end up in 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 North Fort Myers also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab center is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
