Many people in Port Bolivar 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 Port Bolivar also take part in substance abuse at some time in their lives. These dual diagnosis clients often turn to drugs or alcohol to self medicate as a way to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying psychological disorder. Some treatment clients aren't even diagnosed with a psychological condition, and only when they begin to receive treatment at a drug rehabilitation facility is this sort of issue discovered. This in itself 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 mentally stable in the future.
