Many addicted individuals in Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
