Many individuals in Pulaski 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 Pulaski 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 relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
