Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
