Many people in West Louisville who end up in drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in West Louisville also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to alleviate 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 issue brought to light. This in itself 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.
