Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
