Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
