Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
