Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
