Many people in Hopewell, Ohio who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Surprisingly, as many as 1/3 of those who struggle with mental health issues in Hopewell also become involved in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients typically turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to ease 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 treatment program is this sort of issue discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive treatment for both conditions so that they have a strong chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
