Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
