Danville, Illinois Drug Rehab Programs

Mental disorders affect every one out of two people addicted to alcohol or drugs. This means for people who use drugs on a regular basis, there's a 50-50 chance that that person has a mental health condition in addition to their addiction. In many cases, a mental disorder can drive a person to use drugs as a way of self-medicating their disorder. If a dual diagnosis is in play, it's essential that the chosen program addresses both the addiction and the underlying mental health issue. Only then can true recovery occur.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, alcohol addictions are a leading cause of health problems in the United States. Some of the trends associated with long-term alcohol use include:

Thankfully, treatment programs can provide the support and guidance needed to stop addiction. Call us today for help finding the right program in the Danville area.
