Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
