Many individuals in Elk Horn 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 Elk Horn also take part 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
