Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
