Many individuals in Blevins 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 suffer with mental health issues in Blevins also take part 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of issue uncovered. This alone can sometimes 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.
