Many people in Jeffersonville, OH. 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 suffer with mental health issues in Jeffersonville also become involved 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 psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients 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 discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
