Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors 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 stay mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
