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 situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
