Many people in Dow City 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 Dow City 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 as a way to relieve the symptoms of an underlying psychological condition. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a disorder, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue brought to light. This alone can help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to receive rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and mentally healthy in the future.
