Many people in East Bernstadt, Kentucky 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 East Bernstadt 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 as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
