Many addicted individuals in Connellys Springs, NC. who find their way to 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 Connellys Springs also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation 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 receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
