Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
