Many people in Freedom, California who find their way to 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 Freedom also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
