Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
