Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across 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 any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior option.
