Many addicted individuals in Montevallo, Alabama who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Montevallo 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
