Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common 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 kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
