Many individuals in Sonyea, New York 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 Sonyea, New York 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes 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 mentally healthy in the future.
