Many people in Berkeley Springs, WV. who end up in 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 Berkeley Springs also become involved 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 ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab 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 treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
