Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that 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 reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
