Many people in Newcomerstown, 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 Newcomerstown 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 in an attempt to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehab center is this sort of psychological condition discovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally stable in the future.
