Many people in Otsego 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 Otsego 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 as a way to ease the symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disorder. Some addicts aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they make it to a drug treatment program is this sort of psychological condition brought to light. This alone can sometimes help resolve addiction issues and put the person in a position to get rehabilitation for both conditions so that they have a good chance of remaining clean and sober and psychologically stable in the future.
