Many individuals in Star City who find their way to drug rehab are dual diagnosis clients with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems. In fact, as many as 1/3 of those who suffer with mental health issues in Star City also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients frequently turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they make it to a drug treatment center is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get treatment for both disorders so that they have a good chance of remaining abstinent and psychologically stable in the future.
