Many people in Allgood who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Allgood, Alabama also take part 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
