Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
