Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
