Many people in Syracuse, NE. who find their way to 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 Syracuse 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts 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 receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
