Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
