Many people in Heath Springs, South Carolina 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 Heath Springs also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
