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 abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize 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 individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
