Many people in Corpus Christi who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Corpus Christi 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
