Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
