Many people in Bascom 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 Bascom, Ohio also become involved in substance abuse at some time 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 psychiatric issue. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
