Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
