Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
