Many people in Elkhorn who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Elkhorn also take part in substance abuse at some time 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 psychiatric issue. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab center is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This in itself can sometimes 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 clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
