Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
