Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
