Many individuals in Boone 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 Boone, North Carolina also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to 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 strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
