Many people in Sanford, Texas 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 Sanford, Texas 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
