Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
