Many people in Patterson, Arkansas 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 struggle with mental health issues in Patterson, Arkansas also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological 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 uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
