Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
