Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
