Many addicted individuals in Arlington 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 Arlington also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate 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 rehab program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
