Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
