Many individuals in Cordele, GA. 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 struggle with mental health issues in Cordele, Georgia also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to 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 conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
