Many treatment programs in New Auburn, Wisconsin address people with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders. A person who struggles with a mental disorder(s) and substance abuse needs to work through both issues simultaneously. Failing to handle the client's mental disorder(s) during their drug treatment will leave them vulnerable to relapse once they leave treatment. Issues with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and other psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, personality disorders, etc.) will surface once back in their day to day life. If the person does not have a handle on how to manage their mental disorder they will likely fall back into their old ways of abusing drugs or alcohol as a means of coping and self-medicating.
