Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
