Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
