Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
