Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
