Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior option.
