Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible option.
