Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for folks involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
