Many people in Italy, Texas 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 struggle with mental health issues in Italy, Texas also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab center is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
