Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior answer.
