Many individuals in Blythe, Georgia who end up in 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 Blythe also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
