Many people in Rison, Arkansas who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Rison also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
