Many people in Big Creek, KY. who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Big Creek, KY. also become involved 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 disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab facility is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally stable in the future.
