Many addicted individuals in Obion 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 Obion 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 psychological condition. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment facility is this sort of issue uncovered. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a strong chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
