Many individuals in Ossian who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. Actually, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Ossian also become involved in substance abuse at some point 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 psychiatric issue. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue discovered. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and mentally healthy in the future.
