Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
