Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
