Many people in Edmonson, TX. 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 Edmonson, Texas 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 ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients 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 brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
