Many people in Traer, IA. 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 Traer also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
