Mental and substance abuse disorders can cause a great deal of problems for those unfortunate individuals that are at the same time battling extreme mental problems. It is often the case that many men and women in Norway that are plagued by mental health issues also abuse drugs in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of their disorder, although drugs and alcohol actually only intensify their problem. It is hoped that many of these people dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders will wind up in an effective drug rehabilitation facility in Norway with rehab counselors who know how to spot such conditions. By addressing both problems in tandem, persons can experience the full spectrum of rewards of appropriate treatment and move on to live healthy and drug free lives both psychologically and physically.
