Many people in Dahlonega 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 struggle with mental health issues in Dahlonega also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
