Many individuals in Friendship, Ohio 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 Friendship also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug treatment facility is this sort of issue discovered. 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 good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
