Many individuals in St. Marys, Kansas 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 St. Marys 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 treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
