Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
