Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
