Many addicted individuals in Stokesdale 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 suffer with mental health issues in Stokesdale 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 in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
