Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
