Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
