Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible option.
