Many individuals in Huntleigh 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 Huntleigh also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
