Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
