Many people in Higginsport, Ohio who end up in 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 Higginsport also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically healthy in the future.
