Many people in Ackerly, TX. 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 Ackerly also become involved in substance abuse at some time 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 disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab center 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 receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
