Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
