Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
