Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
