Many individuals in Smackover who end up in 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 Smackover, AR. also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. 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 brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
