West Virginia Dual Diagnosis Rehab Centers

Many people who abuse drugs and alcohol have underlying mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety, that cause them to start abusing substances in the first place. West Virginia dual diagnosis programs recognize these underlying mental disorders and provide counseling and treatment for them alongside an individual’s addiction treatment, which increases the chances of long-term recovery.
