Many individuals in East Brewton 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 struggle with mental health issues in East Brewton also take part 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 psychiatric issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
