Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
