Many addicted individuals in Little River, AL. 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 suffer with mental health issues in Little River, Alabama also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab 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 treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
