Many people in Douds, Iowa who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Douds also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
