Many people in Vestavia Hills, Alabama 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 struggle with mental health issues in Vestavia Hills, Alabama also take part in substance abuse at some point 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 psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab center is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
