Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
