Many people in Wallace, KS. who find their way to 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 Wallace, Kansas also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab center is this sort of issue discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
