Many people in Matagorda, TX. who end up in 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 Matagorda also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. 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 discovered. This in itself can 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 abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
