Many people in Scranton 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 struggle with mental health issues in Scranton also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
