Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to 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 be mentally stable and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
