Many addicted individuals in Barbourville, Kentucky 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 Barbourville also take part in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself 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 abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
