Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
