Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and development. 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 should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
