Many addicted individuals in Friendly, West Virginia 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 Friendly, West Virginia also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric 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 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.
