Many people in Valles Mines who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Valles Mines 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 psychological issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab center is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
