Many individuals in Albany, OH. who find their way to 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 Albany also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
