Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
