Many individuals in Pilot Knob who end up in 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 Pilot Knob also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
