Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
