Many people in Moxahala 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 struggle with mental health issues in Moxahala also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
