Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
