Many addicted individuals in Maud who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Maud 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts 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 in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
