Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and progress. Rehab 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 should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
