Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot 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 stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
