Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t once 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 circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
