Many people in Pleasant Plains 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 suffer with mental health issues in Pleasant Plains also become involved in substance abuse at some point 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 psychological disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
