Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues 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 counselors can help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
