Many people in Smyer who end up in 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 Smyer, Texas also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
