Many people in Fargo 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 suffer with mental health issues in Fargo, North Dakota also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
