Many people in Langston, Alabama 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 Langston also take part 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
