Many people in Fish Creek who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Fish Creek also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment program is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
