Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. 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 which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
