Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
