Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
