Many individuals in Myrtle, MO. who find their way to 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 Myrtle also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
