Many people in Blue Earth 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 Blue Earth also become involved in substance abuse at some point in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
