Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
