Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
