Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior option.
