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