Many people in Bighill who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Bighill, Kentucky also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. 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 strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
