Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
