Many people in Big Sky 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 Big Sky, Montana also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
