Many people in Buckhorn 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 struggle with mental health issues in Buckhorn, New Mexico also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
