Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
