Many people in Franklinton, LA. 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 struggle with mental health issues in Franklinton, LA. 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 in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone 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 abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
