Many people in Staley, North Carolina who find their way to 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 Staley also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicts 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 rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
