Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
