Many addicted individuals in Olton 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 Olton also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation center is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes 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 stable in the future.
