Many addicted individuals in Washington who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Washington, AR. 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 psychological issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
