Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. 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 need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
