Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
