Many people in Jacksonville who end up in 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 Jacksonville also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
