Many people in Jasper, AL. 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 Jasper also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
