Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
