Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment 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 leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
