Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable 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 that they are able to better handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior option.
