Many people in Oppelo, Arkansas 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 Oppelo also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center 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 receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
