Many people in Purdin 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 struggle with mental health issues in Purdin also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
