Many individuals in North Plains, Oregon who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in North Plains also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease 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 disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
