Many people in Carrollton, Missouri 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 struggle with mental health issues in Carrollton also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically 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 begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab center is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
