Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals through a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
