Many people in Falmouth, Kentucky 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 suffer with mental health issues in Falmouth also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
