Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
