Many people in Millstadt 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 Millstadt also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
