Many individuals in Pentress, WV. who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Pentress, WV. also take part in substance abuse at some point 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 psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation 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 receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
