Many people in Riverside who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Riverside also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. 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 issue brought to light. This in itself 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 abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
