Many people in Barnesville 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 suffer with mental health issues in Barnesville also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
