Many addicted individuals in Agate who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Agate also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
