Many people in Bern, KS. 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 struggle with mental health issues in Bern, KS. also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
