Many people in Ostrander 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 struggle with mental health issues in Ostrander also take part 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 alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some addicted individuals aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug rehab program is this sort of issue brought to light. This in itself can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the individual in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically healthy in the future.
