Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
