Many people in Whelen Springs, Arkansas 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 Whelen Springs 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 condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
