Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
